TSMC to Invest in Intel, US, or Not?
Taiwan's economy ministry has not received information about a potential TSMC investment in Intel, the US. Despite reports of talks between the two companies, neither TSMC nor Intel has confirmed the rumors. The government approval process for large overseas investments by Taiwanese companies is complex and requires specific notification from the company involved.
- This lack of transparency raises concerns about the effectiveness of Taiwan's regulatory framework in ensuring that foreign investment benefits the domestic economy.
- How will the outcome of this potential investment affect the balance of power between the US, Taiwan, and the global semiconductor industry?
