They could be built in Taiwan at first since they have the expertise then eventually they could expand the manufacturing capacity onto the European continent with newly constructed fabs.

Just end of dumping from other manufacturers relying on less ethical labor and/or subsidies produced by less ethical labor than we have. Most of equipment for those fabs is made here anyway, one way or another. And we have plenty of people who know exactly how it is done, including me (yeah, I had 8nm tech in my hands before Intel, and they didn't hire me, so if you manage to get the economy of this - you know where to find me). Once we are ready to start paying fairly for things (from food to chips), they become local. Magic!

What's your education background, if I may ask?

Technically, I have PhD in Chemistry from Rice University, but things are waaaay more complicated.
