The factory TSMC opened in the USA was mostly staffed with workers from Taiwan, because Americans won't work 996.
It also only makes dies (the functional part of the IC), that still have to be exported to Taiwan for packaging.
Do they have 996 in Taiwan? I thought that was just the PRC?

India does too. Not sure about the rest of Asia.
