Taiwan semiconductors

New Delhi is clearly making a push to expand its capabilities in the critical semiconductor industry.

Advanced semiconductors play an important role in the defense industry, and Taiwan supplies the lion’s share of those chips.

Semiconductors are particularly thirsty.

The U.S., Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea must work together to safeguard global supply chains for semiconductors.

Taiwan, under pressure to alleviate a global chip shortage, is fighting a drought at home and recruitment of its engineers by Chinese competitors.

The country is facing its most severe water shortage in 56 years, but officials say water supplies will likely be sufficient until monsoon rains in late May.

The overwhelming reliance on Taiwan for critical supply elements creates a combustible situation for the global economy.

Taiwan’s TSMC is a critical part of the global semiconductor supply chain. What does that mean for the U.S. and China’s Taiwan policies?

Taiwan’s semiconductor industry will require major restructuring if it wishes to maintain its competitive edge in the crowded global market.

Semiconductor giant TSMC will invest $12 billion in a new Arizona chip plant, it announced Friday, while Apple will expand its Taiwan footprint.
