    Oh the Irony, USA trying to sabotage China from being competitive on chip productions, while they are failing themselves.
    But this is still sad, because if Intel fails, only TSMC and Samsung remain as top competitors, unless/until China has a competitive process, which will probably take 10 years.

    Not sure how you maintain production without 1/5th of your workforce.

    It’s the same as telling everyone “OK, Monday is now an unpaid holiday, stay home.”

      You forgot to add, “but you’ll get fired if production numbers drop.” Without the fear in those that remain of losing their livelihood, safety, food, home, and healthcare; the effect isn’t quite the same.
