Affected by the Epidemic, the world is facing a shortage of automotive chips, and the governments of the United States, Japan and Germany have turned to Taiwan for assistance, which also highlights the importance of Taiwan in the semiconductor supply chain. However, a foreign media report pointed out that the urgent demand of the United States for Taiwan chips, which will also enable Taiwan and the United States to conduct trade negotiations, occupy a better position for dialogue and enhance Taiwan’s bargaining power against the United States.
According to the Voice of America (VOA) reports, U.S. President Joe Biden (Joe Biden) signed an executive order last month 24, requiring the United States to start solving the chip shortage problem, to ensure the security and reliability of the semiconductor supply chain for high-tech hardware. Some expert analysis points out that Taiwan, which plays a pivotal role in the global semiconductor chip manufacturing community, has the opportunity to have better negotiation opportunities in the trade market.
In addition, Professor Liu Yi-jun of the Department of Public Affairs at Taiwan’s Fo Guang University said, “It’s good, I think at this moment Taiwan is finally able to offer something concrete and help the United States in some way.” Liu believes that because of Taiwan’s importance in the global semiconductor market, Taiwan-U.S. trade talks will be able to proceed in a “more reciprocal manner.
Investment advisory firm Quantum International (Quantum International) senior adviser Brebeck (John Brebeck) pointed out that the United States for semiconductor chips to enhance demand, will help Taiwan in trade negotiations in a favorable position, “because the U.S.-China trade war and the shortage of semiconductor chips, coupled with Taiwan’s performance in The prevention of epidemics outstanding, and the United States wants to support such a democratic country, this may become a good opportunity for Taiwan to move forward.”
