Taiwan Rejects US proposal
Contingency planning
Taiwan rejects possibility of transferring 40% of the island’s semiconductor capacity to U.S. — production on Taiwan expected to increase in lockstep with increases in U.S.-based production
The bulk of the island’s fabs and leading-edge process technologies must remain in Taiwan to form the silicon shield.

Taiwan's government has rejected calls from U.S. officials to shift a large portion of semiconductor manufacturing to America, stating that relocating 40% of the island's chip production is not feasible, reports Reuters. The authorities expect companies like TSMC and UMC to keep expanding their production capacity on the island, even though TSMC is now actively expanding overseas and other countries are looking for the onshoring of chipmaking.
Not surprised.
The bulk of the island's fabs and leading-edge process technologies must remain in Taiwan to form the silicon shield.
