Which other European country would you suggest? I mean, if ASML can thrive in The Netherlands, surely Germany must be fine for TSMC?

(Ignoring the comparative suitability of European countries) It bears mentioning that TSMC and ASML are fundamentally different businesses in terms of their clientele, costs, inputs, institutional knowledge, sales volume, and other key characteristics. They operate at very different stages of the semiconductor supply chain.
