It's quite interesting that no other country has managed to build a chip foundry that would even remotely rival TSMC.

Especially considering they use third-party lithography machines.

taiwan has all the engineers, technician specialists. much like hyundai had all thier engineers come to the us to get every techical thing set up.

I don't think the foundries are the limiting factor. There's a shit ton of engineering going into every step of the fab process and most of those experts are in Taiwan.
