The United States is increasingly concerned about dependence on Taiwan, where TSMC produces the majority of advanced semiconductors, essential for companies like Nvidia and Apple. Taiwan, on the other hand, sees its expertise in chip manufacturing as a "silicon shield" against a possible Chinese invasion and as a factor in attracting international support. The Taiwanese Vice Premier emphasized that Taiwan will not accept producing 50% of semiconductors on American soil, highlighting its strategic importance.
