Reply to comment by DarkAlman in ELI5 why chip manufacturing is concentrated in Taiwan by superbombino

Thanks for the detailed answer, I learned some new things!

​

Originally my thinking was more along the lines of, why *Taiwan*? Why haven't similar countries in SEA done the same as Taiwan? Some have cheaper labour, some have world-class tech talent, all are geographically almost identical to Taiwan.

​

What did Taiwan do that, e.g.: Mainland China couldn't? Or SG, Japan, Malaysia, etc.?
