Taiwan's legacy chip industry contemplates future as China eats into share​

Quick Summary:

TAIPEI: When Taiwan's Powerchip Technology entered a deal with the eastern Chinese city of Hefei in 2015 to set up a new chip foundry, it hoped the move would help provide better access the promising Chinese market.

Trade tensions between Washington and Beijing may ease the pain a bit, executives in Taiwan said, as companies hoping to secure supply chains and seek chips made outside China.

Although Taiwanese foundries can still compete on factors such as process stability and better production yield rates, one executive working at a Taiwanese chip designer said Chinese foundries had since 2023 become more aggressive in pitching business.
