Relocate microchip factories from Taiwan, to Mexico. ASAP.

Relocate and build chip factories in Mexico.

1) help Mexican economy a little bit, might help provide jobs and curb illegal crossings a little bit
2) there's still poverty slave labor down there too
3) we won't have to worry about this relocation business ever again because Mexico is so close to us and won't be in danger
4) cheaper shipping costs to USA



furthermore,
Taiwan legit is ethnically Chinese. They are a land that was populated by exiled Chinese after the civil war in 1949 (?). The chinese government that lost to the communists. They ran in exile to Taiwan and set up shop there.

But make no mistake, they are chinese. They speak mandarin chinese. They are culturally chinese.


Why the hell would we go to war over some internal battle like that.

Chinese are good at chips because of their high iq. Low iq mehicans are only good for stirring coca barrels of crack *******. Mehicans would be useful for big pharma drug manufacturing.

You'd be surprised how many engineers Mexico has graduating each year. The US and multiple other countries (including China) are already setting up economic zones and huge industrial parks in Mexico. It may merely be a matter of time before microprocessors are made there, with some help from the US and Europe. Divestment out of China is already happening at scale, with largely India and Mexico to pick up where the Chinese are left off. China's going to export less (it already is) and have to figure out how to have more internal demand to function.

Microchips or chips and salsa?
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

It'd be easier to just declare war on china, because of supply lines and whatnot. Thats what bullittEV told me, he assured me of this point and claimed that it was far beyond my understanding. I suspect he's just jewish though.

They are culturally very different from the mainland Chinese. Very. Taiwan is a democracy that often considered the more religiously free country in the world. Look up Shanghai in the 1920 and 1930s - that’s what Taiwan’s culture is based on. The CCP has spent that last 70 years trying to erase that.

That and, FYI, the written language is different today because the communists changed the written language.

However, you want to cut it and whatever product you wanna talk about -expanding industry in Mexico is one of the best ways to stop immigration.

This and more stringent, unfamiliar regulations are part of the reason that the American plants have been a bust.

Honestly, this. Thereisa reason that Taiwan isthego-to for microprocessors.

The faulty logic behind the recent push for American plants is that one simply starts making microprocessors if you throw enough money at it. Of course, JUSA is probably onto something where Biden and the rest of the senile congressional kooks think that's where we're getting our snack foods.

I think the time to try building up Mexico and other Central American countries has passed, especially now when we have Mr. "Hugs, Not Bullets" in charge over there. Seeing as how they're doing fück all to stop anyone from crossing into the US, so they're complicit and far from being our friends who we should invest in for high value assets. Mexicocouldhave pulled an El Salvador and now Ecuador to put a stop to their own cartel problems, but instead they're behaving more like California while also sitting idly by as so called "refugees" defy the very conceit of stopping at the nearest country to pollute ours instead.
I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine

Current admin is China's bitch. China tells the current admin what to do and when to do it.

Not realistic. I don't buy China products and I don't buy Mexico products.

If every part of a product is made in China and the parts are then assembled in the USA, it gets a made in the USA tag.

This god forsaken retard finally has a good idea.

We need to bring back manufacturing at every level. Will it hurt, sure, for a while. But we'll be better off for it in the long run. It will also fuk China over big time, which is always good.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Taiwan is already moving into America, no? I think they are building a factory in Arizona but there are logistical issues.

Mostly, it's a bit of culture shock. The Taiwanese have lax safety laws, work long long hours and lots of micromanagement. American workers don't want to work in those conditions. It won't make big news though because learning that the Taiwanese are hard to work with will damage international relations, at a time when the US really needs good relations with them.



I doubt Taiwan will sell it off to foreign investors either. They've got a massive bargaining chip there. They hold a geopolitical security interest and they know this keeps the West allies in case of a Chinese invasion. There's even a term for it called "The Silicon Shield".
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

Manufacturing microchips is one of the most technologically challenging manufacturing processes known to man.

Very few countries can successfully achieve it mexicans are not smart enough nor are Americans.

Especially on the scale, level and quality of TSMC.
