Not denying that Germany faces serious issues, but using Intel as an example to show Germany’s national problems imo is just wrong. Ifthey want to make that connection they better provide some evidence showing this move isn’t purely motivated by the internal problems Intel currently faces, which recently have been in the news quite a bit.

Now if TSMC suddenly decides to cancel their new German fab (admittedly not leading edge like Intel’s would have been), then it’s a point taken.

Also you can’t withdrawal what isn’t there. They have barely started doing any work in Magdeburg
