TSMC makes the world’s most advanced chips in Taiwan. Geopolitical shifts are pushing it to set up a new factory in the American desert.
It needs to bring its cutting-edge tech but also a notoriously harsh, military-style work culture to the U.S. 🧵

Thrilled to learn our months-long reporting on Foxconn's struggle in producing iPhones in India was awarded best business feature by @SABEW (small division)
It was a phenomenal experience reporting alongside the formidable @violazhouyi, whose work ethic pushed me to do more. It was her tireless pursuit of the story that helped uncover the unreported culture clashes. She is a force to reckon with.
I hope more writers get a chance to work with @schoenmakersk — a brilliant and empathetic editor, who shepherded the story from the start, and helped navigate delicate sourcing situations. If you are impressed by the narrative depth of the piece, it's thanks to his meticulous edits.
A heartfelt thanks to @VickiTurk and @restofworld team for the nomination.
What does moving manufacturing from China to India look like on the ground?
Re-upping this award-winning piece of journalism from a few months ago about Foxconn’s efforts to manufacture the iPhone 15 in India. The article is rich with details like my favorite one below:

I’m so proud of all the wonderful work we managed to do at Sixth Tone, and so sad to read about its current diminished state, and the demise of Chinese journalism in general. So many stories are going untold. A great read by @rachel_cheung1
In my latest for @thewirechina:
For years, Sixth Tone succeeded in carving out a precarious, but unique space in China’s media ecosystem. But conversations with 15 former and current employees reveal how the publication has been neutered over the past year.
