Multiple sources of production.
We learned during concentrating all of your production in one small country wasn’t a good idea. Plus having multiple sources has always been suggested in case anything goes wrong with one company you can still have some production.

Sure but there are other countries that also have cheaper manufacturing rates.

Those countries probably didn’t pay 5.5 billion dollars for TSMC to build a new facility in their country.

These facilities are expensive, like 20-30B for the big ones. If you’re curious youtube has some good long videos on how these places work. As far as I’ve checked all the gov grants given to companies as incentives (whether chips or energy or other infrastructure projects) only partially cover the costs of construction.

And are susceptible to interference. Samsung is also building huge manufacturing infrastructure in the US.
