Wu Cheng-wen, Taiwan's new science and technology minister, expressed confidence that TSMC can protect its proprietary advanced technology and keep building its leading-edge fabs in Taiwan while expanding internationally. Wu reassured that despite TSMC's global growth, its most advanced technological developments would remain secured in Taiwan, reports Bloomberg.
TSMC, which produces the majority of the world's most advanced processors in Taiwan, recently changed its strategy to keep its manufacturing primarily on the island, is building fabs to build advanced chips in the U.S., fairly advanced processors in Japan, and specialty chips in Europe.
