They've operated in the US for a while now.
From the press release: "In the United States, TSMC currently operates a fab in Camas, Washington and design centers in both Austin, Texas and San Jose, California. The Arizona facility would be TSMC’s second manufacturing site in the United States."

What a bizarre comment. If they leave, are they your enemy for life then?
I'm not sure that's fair. There's a lot of room between friend and enemy, here. When breaking up in a relationship under typical circumstances, the other person doesn't normally become an enemy, unless a person is not well adjusted mentally.
As far as bizarre goes -- bizarre is better than boring!
(New) Relationship with strangers can be in one of the 3 categories:
- Neutral - Friend - Enemy
OP is moving the company into Friend category (from Neutral). I don't know what he'd do if they decide to move back, but if they declare the company as an "enemy" then that creates a perverse incentive where people in Neutral category would refrain from becoming friend because that risks them becoming enemy.
So to be prudent OP must move the company into 'Neutral' category again otherwise they won't get future 'Friends'
So yeah, educate yourself and then behave reasonably.
I know. Where in my comment did I say otherwise?

Okay, thanks?
Did you by any chance respond to the wrong comment? Such bizarre comments in this thread.
