Joseph,

when you say American, there is really only MU who is in direct competition with the Koreans. They have their hands full with TXN.

Japanese is not sitting on a lot of money. Taiwanese, you hear it here first, is probably going to start worrying about China, both politically and economically.

I think it is unlikely that anyone would be willing or able to start a very expensive chip war to drive the Koreans out of business.

Did you see the announcement from Japan? They have no intention whatsover of abandoning their "market-share" philosophy. What worries me is more whether the various powers intend to spend EACH OTHER into oblivion, winner take all and no profits for anyone.
