Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's buildout in Arizona marks the first major reshoring of advanced chip production to the U.S. in decades, driven by geopolitical risk—Taiwan's precarious position—and supply-chain redundancy concerns after COVID-era shortages. The stakes are whether the U.S. can maintain independent access to the semiconductors that power weapons systems and consumer electronics alike, forcing Apple and other tech giants to recalibrate sourcing strategies and accept higher production costs for reduced dependency.
