HSINCHU: Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC said today its production of ever-smaller microchips will remain on the island, hopeful that the critical industry will have a “stabilising effect on global geopolitical conflicts”.

“I hope Taiwan’s semiconductor industry can do well to have a stabilising effect on global geopolitical conflict.”
