      Arizona has access to a lot of the larger rivers like the Colorado, so they can get water pretty easily, and then at least when I was in Arizona, I knew a business owner from China who opened their company there because of the relatively low tax rates. But they’re not super low from what I remember. Let me check. Yeah combined corporate tax rate of over 9%, which is apparently the 19th of the US for corporate tax rates.

      Water access is there, there’s obviously tons of super cheap land for development, and the corporate tax rates aren’t so bad.

        The water is there but already overpromised to existing stakeholders. Building thirsty new industries in a dry state just doesn’t make any sense to me.

      It is pretty funny that you think an expected and predicted timeline while opening a second factory is a bad omen for US chipmaking.

      China gets all of their most advanced software and hardware designs for chip manufacturing from US tech. That’s been cut off now.

          Maybe that’s why I laugh whenever I see your propaganda

              Given that those are your only two techniques of debate, that’s not surprising.

                  If you are referring to the US, then yes, you are clearly shilling elsewhere.

                  This is just a guess, but it could be for the dictatorship that you keep posting false data articles and articles about.

      Oh yeah, and the US will make sure Taiwan has everything they need to set up shop here.
