Taiwan has reaffirmed its commitment to keeping its most advanced semiconductor technology within its borders, even as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) (NYSE:TSM) plans to invest $100 billion in U.S. chip manufacturing over the next four years.
Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo stated that TSMC will not produce its most advanced chips in the U.S. in 2026, according to a Taipei Times report. Taiwan's cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee added that the government would likely support the investment if it strengthens the country's competitiveness and global reach.
TSMC's $100 billion U.S. investment includes new chip fabs and research facilities, building on its April 2024 pledge of $65 billion, which included plans for a third Arizona plant by 2030.
Taiwan plays a dominant role in the semiconductor industry, with TSMC producing nearly 90% of the world's most advanced chips, supplying Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), and other tech giants.
