Show Notes
At the CommonWealth semiconductor forum March 16, the 91-year-old TSMC founder Morris Chang reiterated the importance of Taiwan as a major force in semiconductor manufacturing, and stressed that the growing trend of diversification of chip making would result in higher costs.
Chris Miller, Associate Professor of International History at Tufts University, gave a brief speech on how TSMC became the most important chipmaker in the world, followed by an hour-long dialogue with Chang, moderated by CommonWealth chairperson Yinchuen Wu.
This one-hour encounter was mostly peaceful and nostalgic, but occasionally, Chang would raise challenging questions, such as the one about the US friendshoring strategy, or a critical comment on what’s really behind the American CHIPS Act.
