回顾整个过程，这简直是一场逐步走向深渊的闹剧。最初在2020年，台积电计划投资120亿美元建立一个工厂，以稍微应对美国的压力。但到了2025年，特 朗普的胃口逐渐膨胀，他将投资额硬生生推到了1650亿美元。这是一笔真金白银！特朗普认为这是他用关税威胁换来的美国芯片重生。他甚至在工厂为苹果 生产4纳米芯片时，称其为伟大的里程碑。然而，现实却给了他一记响亮的耳光。2025年第四季度财报显示，台积电在亚利桑那州的工厂单季亏损超过20亿 美元，而同期，台湾本土工厂的净利润已经突破了80亿美元。两者的对比简直如天壤之别，一边是滚滚利润，另一边则是持续亏损。这哪里是在进行产业升 级？这分明是将一只下金蛋的母鸡，硬生生地扔进了绞肉机。 为了推动制造业回流美国，实现让美国再次伟大的目标，特朗普对台积电施加了巨大的压力。从最初的威胁和诱导，到后来加征关税的强硬手段，最终将台 积电逼进了美国亚利桑那州的沙漠。 从表面来看，这似乎是一场美国获得的大胜利。台积电的投资额一路攀升，从最初的几百亿美元增加到1650亿美元，最先进的2nm工艺也被搬到了美国。然 而，特朗普在社交媒体上得意洋洋，几乎想用喇叭把这场胜利宣布给全世界：看，这就是 ...
