@Equation Sir see how Biden try to lessen the tension with the Chinese, they had taken what they wanted from TW (FAB 21) and SK (TYLER FAB in Texas) with 5nm and 3nm tech. they need a market for those Chips. They will have an agreement were by the Chinese will have the 7nm and above nodes while they will supply the cutting edge. Bypassing EU who will rely on older nodes competing with the Chinese, a win win only for the Chinese and the American....Lol that's only my perception so anybody can interject. TW and SK FABS is now an extension of America's, the EU need to create its owned from scratch (10nm -3nm chips). The US and China strategic competition is a farce, a matter of fact its a 3 way with EU being left behind.
