TSMC overcapacity would become

TSMC overcapacity would become worst when its factories in US, Japan, Germany productions come onboard & not to mention its factories in Taiwan. Over supplies would be an issue coupled with US sanctions on China ❗🥵

ASML's Lowered Outlook Suggests Factory Overcapacity, Not Chip Doom
