Will be including this on my syllabus for my graduate course on Green Industrial Policy next semester.
The wonderful FT podcast team and I just completed a four-part series on China and the geopolitics of chips. For the first episode we went to Pheonix, Arizona to see the biggest foreign investment in US history...the new plant by Taiwan's TSMC. Thanks to all. www.ft.com/content/3aa7...

Episode 2, we went to ASML in the Netherlands. This company makes the tools that make all of the world's most advanced semiconductors. Without doubt this is the most impressive tech company I've visited in more than three decades of journalism. Mind-blowing. www.ft.com/content/be19...
