Taiwan Pledges to Invest $250 Billion in U.S. Computer Chip Making

What Happened?

As part of a new trade deal between Taiwan and the United States, Taiwan’s computer and chip industry has pledged to invest $250 billion in American computer chip manufacturing. In return, the governments of the United States and Taiwan have agreed to provide Taiwanese computer chip companies with $250 billion in credits. 

In addition, under the new agreement, the U.S. will limit reciprocal tariffs on Taiwan to 15%, and commit to no reciprocal tariffs on generic pharmaceuticals, their ingredients, aircraft components and some natural resources. 

Why it Matters

Taiwan’s Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, is a global leader in computer chip and semiconductor production, accounting for ninety percent of the world’s most advanced types of computer chips. The new trade deal could mean new jobs for American workers, and according to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, TSMC has already purchased land in states like Arizona, which may eventually house new manufacturing facilities.

The biggest winner of the trade deal is TSMC. After the new trade deal was approved, a TSMC spokesman said, ‘As a semiconductor foundry serving customers worldwide, we welcome the prospect of robust trade agreements between the United States and Taiwan.’ By getting a reduction in future tariffs and guaranteed credits from both the U.S. and Taiwanese governments, TSMC stands to benefit the most from the provisions of the trade deal.

While the Trump Administration sees the deal as a win for American workers, there are no specific parts of the agreement requiring TSMC to hire more workers in the United States. TSMC has already built fabrication plants in Arizona and would face additional tariffs for computer chips made outside the U.S., but any additional hires for American workers are likely many months, if not years away. Expanding production facilities takes time since new plants have to be built and brought online.

Secretary Lutnick also said the goal of the Trump Administration is for TSMC to move at least forty percent of its supply chain to the United States. Such a move could serve as a precaution in the case of any Chinese attack on Taiwan, because it would increase the ability of TSMC to continue production even if Taiwan and China go to war. If China were to invade and take control of Taiwan, they would instantly gain control over production of most of the world’s most advanced semiconductors.

How it Affects You

The United States and China are engaged in a race to become the world’s leading AI superpower. And control over the production facilities for components needed to run AI infrastructure, like massive data centers, is already emerging as a key point of contention between the two countries. China has yet to comment on the new deal between Taiwan and the United States, and it could choose to respond as it has in the past with increased military exercises near Taiwan.
