Recent statements by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump accusing Taiwan’s semiconductor industry of stealing American business and demanding protective taxes have cast a shadow over the globally booming semiconductor industry.
This protectionist rhetoric, coupled with the Biden Administration's plans to impose severe sanctions on allied manufacturers that export chip technology to China, is creating considerable uncertainty in the market.
The global semiconductor industry has already faced the AI chip war between the United States and China in the broader context of competition between the two superpowers. Now, Trump’s protectionist agenda adds further complexity for major industry players.
Potential impacts on the industry:
According to the Wall Street Journal, the fall of Taiwan to China would mean the end of the U.S.-Pacific alliance system that has kept the peace for the past 80 years. If Trump dismantles the Biden-era strategic alliance between Taiwan and the United States and abandons the obligation to protect Taiwan, the alliance system could collapse under his leadership.
