Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai declares that Taiwan should not rely on China’s market, as it hampers Taiwan’s economy. He expresses regret that the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) did not establish a factory in Taoyuan and that the Asia Silicon Valley Innovation and Development Center in Taoyuan has been halted. Chen highlights that TSMC’s 2-nanometer site in Kaohsiung is already operational. He points out that Kaohsiung’s 5G internet innovation park, modeled after Taoyuan’s success, is thriving, while Taoyuan’s center has been halted. Chen emphasizes Taiwan’s dominance in the global semiconductor industry, with TSMC controlling 92 percent of advanced manufacturing processes and 62 percent of global production value, and advocates for the development of Asia Silicon Valley as the correct path.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2023, revealing a capital expenditure projection of NT＄226.6 billion for the year. The company plans to allocate 70% of this capital outlay to advanced processes, 20% to specialized processes, and 10% to packaging and other related sectors. TSMC’s consolidated revenue for the third quarter decreased by 10.8% compared to the same period last year, reaching approximately NT＄546.73 billion. The earnings per share (EPS) stood at NT＄8.14.

There are many concerns about the semiconductor industry’s future in Taiwan. Should leading manufacturers, like TSMC, establish new fabs with advanced processes in other countries like the United States?
