The situation became even worse because of politics. So, since 2020, there has been a trade, economic war between China and the United States. For example, in the summer of 2020, the States banned Huawei from transferring chip developments to the Taiwanese company TSMC, and after that a number of other sanctions were taken.
At the same time, TSMC chips are installed in almost all equipment. However, despite the shortage of components, there are no plans to build new factories in Taiwan.
At the same time, the changing climate had an extremely negative impact on Taiwan. So, in 2020-2021, there was a drought on this island, atypical for its climate. For example, in the spring of 2021, water supplies in this area began to run out. At the same time, a lot of water is spent on the production of semiconductors for chips. As a result, TSMC has already begun to build a new chip factory in Arizona.
