TSMC is on the verge of becoming one of the most globally diversified chip makers. This wasn’t the plan.

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, a pioneer in the semiconductor industry, died on Friday at the age of 94.

However, Morris Chang has warned that a reversal of globalisation would increase prices and reduce the ubiquity of chips that power the modern world.

Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said moves by the island’s most valuable chip maker to build factories overseas is a sign of its power abroad.

An extremely expensive game of one-upmanship is being played out in the semiconductor industry where the winners will look like heroes and the rest may not even survive.
