Hi,


naive question here, Can Google/Msft/Meta/Amazon etc.. go around semiconductor tarifs by opening more datacenter offshore? They buy hardware from Taiwan, use in in data center in Europe/Canada/whatever and use this computing power instead of US based data center for handling US users.

I guess the answer is NO, but why?
