>This is a significant win for the US, and just the beginning of the amazing industrial policy passed over the past few years.

I don't consider it a win. I consider it a loss. This is a desperate move by the US. Intel making better chips then TSMC is a win. The government strong arming Taiwan with "protection" from China in order to gain this technology is a display of American incompetence.

But then again maybe is't not about fair play. If the US wins by unfair means, it's still a win? A pathetic win but a win none the less.
