History

Historical Context

The U.S.-China trade tensions intensified in 2018 when the U.S. imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, including a 25% increase on technology exports. This affected companies like TSMC, which was established in 1987 with significant government support to develop Taiwan's semiconductor industry. The ongoing geopolitical conflicts highlight the critical role of semiconductor supply chains in global technology and manufacturing strategies.
