Posts about semiconductors center on the geopolitics and economics of chip manufacturing. Taiwan's dominance in advanced chips for AI servers is being discussed, along with US-China tensions: Dutch pressure over ASML's China export restrictions, Trump's shift from CHIPS Act subsidies to tariffs, and TSMC's expanded US investment pledges. A Wall Street Journal piece notes America lags on memory chips, while ASML reports selling nothing in Europe and calls for EU demand-building.
Why now: Ongoing US-China tech tensions, tariff policy shifts, and ASML export-control debates are driving discussion of the global chip supply chain.

- Trump targets unallocated CHIPS Act funds,pivoting to tariffs. TSMC kept its $6.6B grant,but tariff threats raised its U.S. pledge from $65B to $165B+. This shifts reshoring costs to private capital, though tariffs build capacity far slower than direct subsidies. # TechPolicy #… · 2k_115 · 1
