Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) plans to move some chipmaking facilities abroad, which a senior Taiwan official believes will benefit Taiwan by enhancing collaboration with clients and attracting global talent. The move comes as Taiwan grapples with concerns over potential job losses in semiconductor manufacturing. Taiwan's strong presence in the global technology supply chain is underscored by Nvidia's visit and US lawmakers' interest in the region. Former TSMC executives highlight Asia's advantage in chipmaking, citing 'Confucian culture' and the region's skilled engineers and disciplined work culture as key factors.
