TSMC is literally a Taiwan-sponsored company. Its the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. They’re 100% full bred Taiwanese executives, engineers, and scientists.
Which is all foundry investment. None of the technology needed belongs to Taiwan. Intel is ramping up for Intel 3 and are already doing high volume production on the Intel 4 using EUV.
Foundries are extremely expensive and everyone was happy to let Taiwan do the whole thing. Now with the geopolitical risk, investment is ramping up into chip foundries again. Once that is done the manufacturing will be mostly on par. Which is completely different to your first post about wizards and no one else can do it nonsense.
We are however going around in circles so I’ll likely leave it here.

You haven’t named a single technology.

iPhone chips. NVidia RTX 4080. AMD 7800 XTX.
Advanced FPGAs like Xilinx FPGAs used in the F-35 project.
USA literally can’t make these chips.
