This was a weirdly comedic read about worlds colliding:

American elites trying to create an American chip monopoly for nationalist and imperialist reasons, ask their colony to bring the factory to the imperial core.

Asian worker exploitation culture being imported to the US, where everyone likes to brag how hard-working people they are and think that the rest of the world is poor because it's lazy.

American labour aristocrats refusing to conform with Taiwanese worker exploitation culture.

Taiwanese capitalists making concessions to American workers so they can fulfill the wishes of American elites.

American elites crying because they can't build their self-sufficient capitalist tech utopia that will grab the chip market by the balls.

Taiwanese workers looking in and feeling that everything's a bit too surreal and unbelievable for their taste.
