CTOnews.com August 14 news, TSMC's plan to set up a plant in the United States has encountered some difficulties and challenges, resulting in the progress lagging behind expectations. According to a report by UDN, Xu Jigao, a doctor of engineering in the United States, gave an exclusive interview to Huang Guangqin, a veteran media man on the "Product View" network program "the Battle of celery explosion." he believed that TSMC's location was a mistake, and that it was because of its lack of understanding of American culture that it lagged behind.

When Xu Jigao went to the United States for half a century, he not only got a doctorate in structural engineering, but also started a successful business. at present, he has real estate companies and bridge companies, which specialize in public works, so he knows a lot about American culture.

Xu Jigao believes that there is no problem for TSMC to set up a plant in the United States, but it has made a mistake in selecting the location. He pointed out that TSMC chose to build a plant in Phoenix, Arizona, because of the requirements and influence of the US government, rather than its own interests. He believes that Arizona is located in the lower reaches of the Colorado River, water resources are very scarce, and semiconductor manufacturing needs a lot of water. In addition, Arizona also lacks sufficient talent and workers, which will affect the production efficiency and quality of TSMC's American plant.

Xu Jigao cited such examples as Toyota, which was forced by the US government to set up a factory in Tennessee, Samsung Semiconductor in Austin, Texas, and Hyundai Motor in Alabama. He believes that TSMC has the technology and capital. Should choose the most favorable place.

CTOnews.com noted that in addition to the location issue, Xu Jigao also pointed out the cultural problems faced by TSMC in setting up factories in the United States. He said that the political and business circles in Taiwan do not have a deep understanding of the United States, and they have only moved the practices of the Taiwan region to the United States, and have not really integrated into the local culture and society. TSMC built a factory in the United States and hired a lot of engineers from Taiwan. Outsiders think that TSMC is for cheap wages, but he thinks it is not, but because people in Taiwan work diligently and reliably. But moving everything in Taiwan to the United States is a big taboo in the United States.

Xu Jigao suggests that since you want to set up a factory in the United States, you must take root, and you must use local talent and understand the local culture. He said that if the quality of local workers is not enough, they should be well trained to become loyal employees of TSMC. He also said that TSMC should quickly learn how to run transplant companies in the United States. The Japanese have learned, the Koreans have learned, and he hopes that TSMC can do as the Romans do, and quickly establish the American industry, so that the Americans can be convinced.
