Taiwan is collaborating with three Eastern European countries on semiconductors, a minister said on Thursday, likely to take sides in Brussels that is pushing Taiwan’s semiconductor firms to manufacture in the bloc.
Tech powerhouse Taiwan, home to companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC), has become the focus of efforts to solve the chips shortage, which has closed some auto production lines around the world and whose impact is now being felt in the consumer. Electronics too.
While TSMC is building a $12 billion chip manufacturing plant in the US state of Arizona, it has not suggested interest in a similar facility in Europe, despite the EU’s efforts to promote such investments.

The European Commission has proposed legislation to boost chip production, and is angered for Taiwan’s involvement.
