Taiwan ‘will not agree’ to making 50% of chips in US
Cape Times
|October 02, 2025
TAIWAN “will not agree” to making 50% of its semiconductors in the US, the island’s lead tariff negotiator said yesterday, as Washington pressures Taipei to produce more chips on US soil.
-
Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun’s remarks came after US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said he had proposed to Taiwan a 50-50 split in chip production.
“I want to clarify that this is the US's idea. Our negotiation team has never made a 50-50 commitment to a chip split,” Cheng told reporters in Taipei.
“Please be rest assured that we did not discuss this issue this time, and we will not agree to such a condition?” she said.
Cheng spoke after returning from Washington where she said negotiations over US tariffs on Taiwanese shipments “made some progress”.
