Taiwan Says No to Making 50% of its Chips in US | Vantage On Firstpost N18G

The world runs on tiny slivers of silicon—and Taiwan makes most of them. Known as the “Silicon Shield,” Taiwan produces 95% of the world’s advanced chips, powering everything from phones to AI to missiles. The U.S. wants half of that production moved to America for supply chain security and industrial dominance—but Taiwan says no. Chips aren’t just tech—they’re politics, economics, and national security. With tariffs, elections, and China watching closely, this standoff could reshape the global tech landscape. Who will blink first in the battle for the world’s chips—and can the Silicon Shield stay intact?
