Taiwan to keep production of 'most advanced' chips at home: deputy FM
Taiwan produces over half the world’s chips, aiming to keep advanced manufacturing local despite Chinese military threats and global supply chain concerns.
- Recently, Wu told AFP that Taiwan will keep its most advanced semiconductor technology on home soil to remain indispensable to the global ecosystem, despite external pressures.
- China's stepped-up military activity around the island has increased deployments of fighter jets and warships, fuelling concerns about supply disruptions and calls to expand chip production beyond Taiwan.
- Practical limits — limited land, water and energy — mean Taiwan, the democratic island, expands overseas step by step, as Wu said, due to a 'very special culture' and resource constraints.
- Wu said he expects the United States and Europe to respond if Taiwan is attacked, and Taiwan's defence spending has increased to upgrade equipment to prevent war risks.
- Amid talk of reshoring, Taipei rejected a 50-50 proposal from Howard Lutnick, US Secretary of Commerce, while Wu said `I think Donald Trump understands better and better, day by day, the strategic importance of Taiwan... and will defend American interests in his own way`.
