    Haven't you got the message yet, the orange guy can't do, say or get anything wrong (it's the media). Dead set if he grew a beard he'd be Jesus.
    I'm converted now!!

    I didn't miss the point, deliberately or otherwise. Democrats don't go to jail, because the justice apparatus is run by their support base.

    Mexico is paying for the wall, Trump did it by renegotiating the trade agreement, reducing the benefits that flowed to them. Look it up.

    Trump Delivers Blow To China With Announcement That Taiwan Chip Maker Building $12 Billion U.S. Plant

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump...lion-u-s-plant

    The Trump administration hit hard against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) late this week with the announcement that a Taiwan chip manufacturer will be building a plant in the United States and that the move will severely restrict the company’s ability to sell to China’s Huawei.


    Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) announced that it will build a new factory in Arizona as part of a $12 billion deal with the U.S. that will “create over 1,600 high-tech professional jobs directly, and thousands of indirect jobs in the semiconductor ecosystem,” the company said in a statement.

    “TSMC welcomes continued strong partnership with the U.S. administration and the State of Arizona on this project,” the company added. “The strong investment climate in the United States, and its talented workforce make this and future investments in the U.S. attractive to TSMC. U.S. adoption of forward-looking investment policies to enable a globally competitive environment for a leading edge semiconductor technology operation in the U.S. will be crucial to the success of this project.”

    Reuters reported:

    A U.S. Commerce Department official said TSMC’s decision to locate the plant in the United States generated “good will” at the department, the drafter of a law that would, if implemented, severely restrict TSMC chip sales to Huawei.

    Credit Suisse analysts said proposed restrictions could threaten TSMC’s 14% of sales from Huawei, escalate U.S.-China tensions and delay the rollout of the next-generation 5G mobile network.
    The plant is “the biggest foreign investment by TSMC,” Reuters notes, and “will produce the most sophisticated 5 nanometer chips, which can be used in high-end defense and communications devices.”

    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded to the news on Twitter, writing: “The U.S. welcomes TSMC’s intention to invest $12B in the most advanced 5-nanometer semiconductor fabrication foundry in the world. This deal bolsters U.S. national security at a time when China is trying to dominate cutting-edge tech and control critical industries.”

    Pompeo said that the chip will be used for a wide range of functions, including in 5G base stations and F-35 fighter jets, Reuters notes.
    U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross praised the deal, saying, “TSMC’s plan to build a $12 billion semiconductor facility in Arizona is yet another indication that President Trump’s policy agenda has led to a renaissance in American manufacturing and made the United States the most attractive place in the world to invest.”

    “This plan is the result of years of close collaboration among TSMC, the Governor of Arizona and his staff, and the Administration, particularly our Assistant Secretary of Commerce Ian Steff,” Ross added. “This announcement is the product of strong cooperation between federal, state, and local governments, leveraging the unprecedented investment climate for manufacturers created by President Trump. Our global team of Commerce professionals stand ready to work with additional semiconductor companies looking to expand their operations and investments in the United States

    You mean like you with every second post?

    Dumb arse.

    Still can't get over that embarrassment, can you?

    Cracks me up. You're not the first to act like this. Probably won't be the last.

    Remember Marcel? **** that was funny too.

    I can’t get from thar article if the $12B is what Arizona is paying them to move there or if that’s what the company is promising to invest? The figure is quoted in 2 places, but different contexts? Can’t help suspecting it’s the first option...
    Americans seem to presume that Taiwanese are anti-mainland and don’t seem to realise Taiwan /China business cooperation has been a very busy 2 way street for nearly 30 years now; not to mention the ‘separatists’ politicians in Taiwan have been in the wilderness for years.

    Your opinion might be a result of the media you consume. I have a number of business associates in Taiwan and my experience is that they're very aware of the CCP's real intentions and proud of their independence.

    ‘Aware’ and ‘proud’ yes, willing to go to war? Emphatic no. BTW, not from media, from working on projects there. Ask your business associates if any of them DON’T have mainland connections (as in: investments, factories, major customers on the other side). And never underestimate the race pride of Chinese - Taiwan’s correct designation is in fact Republic of China.
    That’s why the separatists politicians don’t get elected - people know that as long as they don’t poke the panda, they’ll continue on the path they’re on. Starting poking and you’ll end up the Uighers. ROC treads a very tight line between USA and PRC.

    Around the world, there's endless appetite for anti-Trump stories, but zero interest in the truth about Obama and Hillary Clinton.

    Take Hillary's server as an example. Any real fact finder (journalist) would know or learn that in order for Obama to receive emails from that server on his Blackberry (which we know for a fact he did), her email address had to have been "whitelisted". In fact, according to the White House Communications Agency, only whitelisted emails would ever be received on a Presidential device. So who whitelisted [email protected], and what white house official ordered them to do so? But I didn't see a single member of the legacy media ask this question.
