Will TSMC someday become an American company?

I challenge you to explain to the forum how one company can be behind in node ship but is not behind in technology, and how another company can buy the latest process tools but will always be playing catch up. I have done my time in competitor products analyses, including putting their products under SEM and 'physical failure analysis' (PFA) and Big Sam is not ahead of Intel and just wee bit ahead of Micron.

Your engineers make a difference.

the quality and quantity are much inferior,indians are hopeless breed,a pitbull will not have the temperament of a GR.Humans are also built different. India would have been world power competing with US if Indians were so effective.

Japan single handled funded development of Korea ,China and Taiwan. They funded,provided knowhow and blueprint for the core base of development,industrialization,foreign policy ,planning , which are way more important than current FDI from any country,also china's other main investors are wealthy Chinese in Hongkong/Taiwan and Singapore ,those wealthy Chinese managed to siphon their wealth and business network outside China during cultural revolution,they later used their old link with their origin place to reinvest and magnify their wealth. US always tried to block China's growth and development,both politically and technologically.

Impressive. Yes Japan investment are mostly industrial and infra, one perhaps most important of all is in steel, so-called "mother of all industries", Deng Xiaoping personally invited Nippon Steel to build by-now the world class Baosteel, the crown jewel of China's heavy industry. Hong Kong investments in Guangdong were labour-intensive export-oriented manufacturing (that's why millions were employed), and mega-sized commercial real estate in CBDs across the country. Taiwan investment were concentrated in Jiangsu (around Suzhou) in manufacturing of the likes of PCB, electronics. Korean industrial investments mostly in NE and Shandong. Singapore investments are similar to that of Hong Kong, more inclined towards industrial, and their GIC/Temasek (sovereign welfare funds) were instrumental in training/building China's own SWF.
