The United States and Taiwan signed a new trade agreement designed to resolve a dispute over tariffs and to secure investment related to semiconductor chips. This development occurs alongside stated concerns about a potential crisis involving Taiwan's semiconductor industry, which Silicon Valley has reportedly overlooked. Taiwan has stated it is impossible to move 40% of its chip manufacturing capacity to the United States, creating a major challenge for the global chip sector.
In a significant development for regional semiconductor production, TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, has told Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida it plans to produce its most advanced 3-nanometer semiconductors at a new plant in Kumamoto, Japan. This represents a major upgrade to the facility and is part of a push to meet growing demand for chips used in artificial intelligence, with a total investment reported to be around $17 billion.
