Taiwan’s chip prowess is built on democracy and rule of law, president says

TAIPEI: Taiwan’s semiconductor prowess is built on the foundations of democracy and rule of law, becoming a trusted international partner that keeps its promises to supply the world, President Lai Ching-te said on Tuesday.

Taiwan is home to TSMC, the world’s ‌largest contract chipmaker and ⁠main ⁠producer of the advanced chips powering the AI trend.

Amid tensions between China and the U.S. and Europe over trade ​and technology, Taiwan has sought to promote itself as a reliable, democratically governed semiconductor manufacturer.
