TSMC announces production of advanced AI chips in Japan • FRANCE 24 English
Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC, Asia’s most valuable company, has announced plans to produce 3-nanometre cutting-edge chips in Japan. Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi lauded the announcement as “the missing piece for the country” since she’s looked to bolster domestic chipmaking ahead of lower house elections on February 8. Also in this edition: Cuba is on the edge of a “humanitarian collapse” as it faces an oil siege imposed by the United States.

When thought is joined to will, we call it power.

I hope Taipei understands that the only
interest the US has in Taiwan is TSMC
Smart move to diversify their locations across the near area
Let me get this straight… A cutting edge FAB on a parcel of Earth… at the Intersection of FOUR Continental PLATES? Sounds… interesting!
The real reason for opening advanced chip factories outside of the country of Taiwan is, to reduce China's imperialistic ambitions to annex Taiwan in order to dominate the world when having all advanced chip factories under Chinese control. By opening advanced Taiwanese chip factories in a number of other countries reduces China's imperialistic ambitions, but at the same time ensures that all countries still have their supply of microchips even when not bending to Chinese demands.
By moving its most advanced manufacturing overseas, TSMC can safeguard its technology, maintain business continuity, and prevent supply chain disruption—even in the event of a China–Taiwan conflict. This diversification reduces geopolitical risk while preserving global access to critical semiconductors.
the Japanese, Korean, Chinese are known for stealing technologies. Watch out TSMC….
What people don't know is Japan still hold the most important technologies. I phone is consit of about 2000 parts but more than 50 % are parts used Japanese technologies, and Taiwan have 20% China has only 5% .
Taiwan and Japan dominate new technologies and China is only assembling those products.
They also need to setup chip assembly in the Philippines, the main island of Luzon just south of Taiwan
Why does tsmc want to create an alternative for its silicon shield
I love Taiwan! I love Japan! 🥰🥰🥰 🎉🎉🎊 ❤️🧋🍣👍
American financial investment experts predict that by 2030, TSMC’s market value will exceed $8 trillion, making it one of the world’s top three companies. Its valuation will surpass the GDP of Germany, France, and Japan, and account for more than 40% of China’s total GDP!
Awesome great place to build chips, better than France or the EU who would over tax and regulate them , not to mention sue them
There u go its all bout money. This why jp is so arrogant about China unification.
Taiwan is a brave country. They don't seem to know how Japan kicked Renault out of Japan and stole Korea's Line Messenger. There's something I predicted two years ago. TSMC is divided into two countries, the U.S. and Japan. It actually started with the leakage of two nano process technology
