Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) can’t produce 2nm chips outside of Tawain, according to J.W. Kuo, the country's Minister of Economic Affairs. The Arizona fab 21 is still on track to produce 4nm chips in 2025.

Deborah Howington, a talent acquisition director, filed the class-action suit in August. She claims that the HR department created a workplace at TSMC where non-Asian employees

More than a dozen US-based employees of Taiwanese chipmaking giant TSMC have sued the company for apparent discrimination against non-Asian workers.

China's Taiwan Affairs Office said on Wednesday that a U.S. order to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to halt shipments of advanced chips to some Chinese customers - as reported by Reuters - proved that the United States was "playing the Taiwan card" to raise tensions in the Taiwan Straits.

TSMC is being sued by current and former employees, including a talent acquisition director, over alleged employment discrimination. The employees claim that TSMC, the world's largest chipmaker, has favored employees who are Taiwanese citizens and forced out American workers.

Recent legal documents reveal that twelve current and former employees from TSMC's California and Arizona facilities have accused the company of racial discrimination in recruitment, promotion, and employee management practices.
