Common entry barriers

A pure plant-count comparison with Malaysia or Taiwan is too shallow; useful evaluation also needs talent, public support, advanced-manufacturing roles, and ASEAN connectivity. · 1
Expansion paths need to account for EU standards, incumbent integrators, and local manufacturing networks. · 1
Federal policy alone is insufficient because site economics, talent pools, and support conditions vary significantly by state. · 1
