## Resource

Taiwan is flexing its global tech muscle at SEMICON, with President Lai Ching-te leading the charge to position the island as a democratic powerhouse in AI chip manufacturing. As U.S. and EU powers jockey for influence, Taiwan’s semiconductor giants like TSMC are expanding abroad—with $265 billion pledged in Arizona and $20 billion more staying home. Both Washington and Brussels are courting Taipei, aligning on shared values and mutual concerns about China, while tariffs remain a wildcard. Even industry leaders admit diversification is no longer optional; Taiwan’s future hinges on building bridges—not walls—through technology and trust.
