History

Historical Context

In 1997, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) launched its dedicated foundry model, drawing $1.5 billion foreign capital and reshaping global chip supply. The Taiwanese government, led by Premier Lien Chan, paired the initiative with Hsinchu Science Park, boosting employment by 30 percent and attracting Apple and Intel. Nvidia’s 2026 pledge of $150 billion to build a Taipei campus mirrors TSMC’s earlier strategy, with Jensen Huang echoing the same growth-driven partnership model. The parallel suggests Taiwan will again become a pivotal hub for AI hardware, prompting U.S. policymakers to consider new trade safeguards and investment incentives.
