It would be “impossible” to move 40% of Taiwan’s semiconductor capacity to the U.S., the island’s top tariff negotiator said, pushing back against recent comments by American officials who called for a major production shift.
In an interview with Taiwanese television channel CTS that was broadcast late on Sunday, Taiwan Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun said she had made it clear to Washington that Taiwan’s semiconductor ecosystem, built up over decades, could not be relocated.
“I have made it very clear to the United States that this is impossible,” she said, referring to the 40% goal the U.S. has floated.
That ecosystem will continue to grow in Taiwan, Cheng said, adding that the semiconductor industry would keep investing at home.
Why is it indefensible? It’s literally an island which limits attacks to air and sea.
Us can’t even handle Iran arsenal. Us and Israel had to stop aggression after 12 days after running out of all the anti air equipment. Did u know they burned through quarter of all thaads in existence?
Us weapons are not made for conflicts of high intensity, very expensive.
With what components everything is made in China you’re planning on defending taiwan from China with components made in China? they will immediately ban all the export that are shipped to us if any kind of hostile activities happen.
