This is getting ridiculous. Countries paying companies to build fabs in that country.
If the company can't afford to build a fab, borrow from a bank. But oh no, we'll hold a country to ransom.


In the end, it's the public that pays.

Think bigger picture.

It's about moving fabrication out of places like Taiwan, Hong Kong etc... those areas are likely to become voltaile in the years to come espcially with China's eye on Taiwan which is a major supplier of some of the worlds biggest companies.

It's more of a national security issue and securing your economic system from collapsing if you are unable to recieve modern technology.

Funding them is the quickest way to do that and it will pay for itself as the country starts educating people in this area of work and creates jobs which these high paying jobs means more taxes.. Japan is just securing themselves like everyone else

I find it concerning myself, yes they want more fabs around the world, but china and taiwan is an issue that is going to be a disaster in two ways either massive war or nothing done for taiwan and then who's next. Says a lot about what matters at times.

Thing is these kind of things are always going to happen doesnt matter from who.

Watch Cry of the snow wolf documentary says all you need to know about tibet and no one stepped in to help, just on the whole concerning for all involved.
