Semiconductor manufacturing

Success will require the country to leverage its geo-economic strengths while navigating intensifying geopolitical tensions.

South Korea’s current dominance in semiconductor manufacturing will depend on how well it retains its existing talent and how effectively it develops new talent in this field.

The country enjoys some natural advantages, but faces significant challenges in outpacing its neighbors.

The CHIPS Act can succeed, but only if U.S. policymakers give it time to work and a mandate to focus on the future.

Anwar Ibrahim has pitched Malaysia to foreign chipmakers as "the most neutral and non-aligned location for semiconductor production."

Despite U.S. “homeshoring” efforts, the last stage of the semiconductor supply chain remains concentrated in Taiwan. Southeast Asia is a promising alternative.

A special envoy’s first job would be to establish a singular voice for U.S. semiconductor policy to address existing tensions in its international and domestic approaches.

Can an envisioned supply chain partnership between the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan actually become a reality?

Is it possible – or advisable – to remake global value chains in order to boost U.S. national security?

Cutting foreign partners out of the CHIPS for America Act would be catastrophic for the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem.

China’s national interests and supply chain security for the most “core” of technologies.
