Meanwhile in burgerland, Arizona TSMC is down half a billion dollars, is only just starting to build chips, is completely dependent on the global supply chain, costs twice as much to produce chips as in Taiwan. And most of the staff in Arizona are still from Taiwan anyway cause no one in the US understands the process and we refuse to invest in research and education.

What does "fully controllable" mean in this context? I read the article and still don't understand.

I think they just mean the supply chain is entirely domestic.
