HSINCHU: Rising Taiwan-China and U.S.-China tensions have brought \"more serious\" challenges for the semiconductor industry<\/a>, the chairman of Taiwanese chipmaker<\/a> TSMC<\/a> said on Wednesday.

Taiwan is a major producer of
chips<\/a> used in everything from cars, smartphones<\/a> to data centres and fighter jets, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) is the world's largest contract chipmaker<\/a> and Asia's most valuable listed firm.

While the chips sector is already bracing for waning demand as red-hot inflation squeezes spending, Taiwan faces a tougher situation - sandwiched between its largest export market China and its main international backer and arms supplier, the United States - especially as Beijing steps up military pressure to force Taipei to accept Chinese sovereignty claims.

Speaking at the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association's annual convention, TSMC Chairman Mark Liu said: \"The U.S.-China trade conflict and the escalation of cross-Strait tensions have brought more serious challenges to all industries, including the semiconductor industry.\"

In recent years, China's government has \"never stopped promoting its domestic semiconductor industry\", including chip design, manufacturing, and packaging, he added.

The United States has also passed its CHIPS Act to vigorously support local research and development and manufacturing, Liu said.

Liu said he looked forward to Taiwan's industry, government and academia developing \"more concrete, constructive measures\" on industrial policies related to innovation, research, talent education and retention \"to maintain Taiwan's most critical semiconductor industry advantages\".

He noted that this year the \"industry value\" of Taiwan's chip sector is expected to have risen one-fifth compared with 2021, even with the impact of Sino-U.S. trade friction and geopolitical problems.

While Liu did not make direct mention of it, the sweeping set of export controls announced by the United States this month, aimed at slowing China's progress in advanced chip manufacturing, is expected to also impact Taiwanese chipmakers.

The new rules require U.S. companies to cease supplying Chinese chipmakers with equipment to make relatively advanced chips, though Washington has granted some non-Chinese companies operating in China one-year licenses.

TSMC, which makes most of its chips in Taiwan, last week cut its annual investment budget by at least 10% for 2022 and struck a more cautious note than usual on upcoming demand.

TSMC's dominance in making some of the world's most advanced chips for high-end customers such as
Apple Inc<\/a> and Qualcomm Inc<\/a> has shielded it in recent quarters from the downturn flagged by chipmakers including Micron Technology Inc.<\/a>

新竹:两岸上升和美国中美紧张关系带来了更严重的挑战半导体行业主席台湾芯片制造商 台积电周三表示。

台湾是一个主要的生产商芯片用于从汽车、智能手机数据中心和战斗机,而台湾半导体制造有限公司(台积电)是世界上最大的合同芯片制造商和亚洲最有价值的上市公司。

而芯片部门已经准备像炽热的通货膨胀挤压消费需求减弱,台湾面临着更严格的情况——夹在其最大的出口市场中国及其主要国际支持者和武器供应商,美国——尤其是在北京采取军事压力强迫台北接受中国主权的主张。

在台湾半导体产业协会的年度大会上,台积电董事长马克•刘表示:“美国中美贸易冲突和两岸紧张局势的升级带来了更严峻的挑战所有行业,包括半导体行业。”

近年来,中国政府已经“从来没有停止促进国内半导体产业”,包括芯片设计、制造、和包装,他补充说。

美国还通过其芯片法案大力支持本地研发和制造,刘说。

刘说他期待着台湾的行业,政府和学术界发展“更具体的、建设性的措施”相关产业政策创新研究、人才培养和保留“维护台湾半导体行业最关键的优势”。

他指出,今年的“行业价值”台湾芯片行业预计将与2021年相比上升了五分之一,即使中美的影响。贸易摩擦和地缘政治问题。

刘没有直接提到它时,大规模的出口管制本月宣布的美国,旨在减缓中国在先进的芯片制造的进步,也将影响台湾芯片制造商。

新规则要求美国公司停止向中国芯片制造商供应设备,使相对先进的芯片,尽管美国政府已经批准了一些外国公司在中国经营一年的许可证。
