It's called an escape hatch.
- In Japan no less. Great news!
  
  All the best stuff is made in Japan!
- Baby steps
What about the one in the US?
- Progress on that plant is slow right now. The US government wants the majority of workers to be US citizens but TSMC says that can’t find enough skilled laborers.
