In an important announcement for global technology dynamics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, revealed plans for a monumental $100 billion investment into the U.S economy. This investment focuses on establishing five advanced chip plants alongside research and development facilities.
This significant move has aroused concerns regarding Taiwan's continuing dominance in the semiconductor industry, particularly considering that TSMC has long served as a stalwart of Taiwan’s economic and geopolitical stability. Amidst growing geopolitical tensions with China, the U.S. government has encouraged TSMC to diversify its manufacturing strategies.
