Japan is investing heavily in its semiconductor industry with a ¥4 trillion plan to boost the economy, combat urban migration, and compete with Taiwan and China. This investment aims to lead Japan out of sluggish growth and revitalize the semiconductor sector, attracting Taiwanese chip firms to Japan amid China decoupling. Renesas Electronics is acquiring companies to strengthen Japan's chip-making capabilities, while TSMC receives substantial subsidies for its second plant in Japan, positioning itself for mass production.
