Intel to spend $20B on two new chip factories in Arizona
> TSMC previously announced plans for a new factory in Arizona, a project that it valued at $12 billion and that is expected to receive federal subsidies. Samsung is seeking government incentives for a $17 billion expansion of its facilities in Austin, Texas.<p>I found that point really interesting - and also perplexing.<p>I can understand why US companies would choose to outsource manufacturing concerns to East Asian countries, but I'm wondering why the opposite is true in this case here.<p>Could someone with insight into these matters please help me understand - why would TSMC or Samsung choose to build factories in the US?<p>Government subsidies on the upfront CapEx aside - I'm curious what the long term benefits to them would be.<p>Thanks :)
