Kirk here with a note about TSMC, the company that is in the process of building a semiconductor chip factory in Kumamoto. This company got a visit from U.S. lawmaker Nancy Pelosi on her controversial (at least in mainland China) visit to Taiwan. The second article (not the article you go to by clicking on the image) says that “TSMC is now building a $12 billion fab in Arizona to help boost chip production on US soil, but it still makes the majority of its chips and all of its cutting-edge semiconductors at home.” So, Kumamoto is not the only site of the company’s expansion.
