🇺🇸🇹🇼Taiwan Rejects US Chip Shift Demand, Cites Ecosystem Concerns Taiwan's Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun has dismissed U.S. calls to relocate 40% of the island's semiconductor manufacturing capacity to the United States. Cheng stated that Taiwan's established chip ecosystem, developed over decades, cannot be easily moved. The U.S. Commerce Secretary previously suggested tariffs could rise if the shift doesn't occur. Cheng called the idea "impossible," emphasizing that the ecosystem cannot simply be relocated. She clarified that companies can increase their U.S. presence without moving core operations.
