To prevent China from becoming dominant in the development of the strategic sector, the United States has planned to construct a semiconductor industry alliance between the US, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
Well, South Korea is not fully into this project, the news reported by Business Korea, because they don’t want to imperil the operations of South Korean chipmakers like Samsung, which has a huge manufacturing infrastructure in China.
Taiwan has replied that cooperation with the United States is a prime concern, but in consideration, China also holds the biggest market, which is also very essential for Taiwan.
China is conducting economic warfare with Taiwan to acquire the semiconductor Industry
China is a major manufacturer of electronic gadgets in the world, such as computers and smartphones. To run these gadgets and overcome their dependence on others, they import all the semiconductors from other countries.

The list of companies that have been investigated includes GLC semiconductor, Vimicro, Analogix semiconductor, Beijing Yinxing technologies, and others.
40 percent of Samsung NAND flash production is coming for China Plant Accounts
The western city of Xi’an is considered the home to Samsung production for only overseas memory chips. The 40 percent of fab accounts for the Korean mingling total NAND flash production is for China plant accounts.
The semiconductor chip is considered very essential for the manufacturing of electronic items. Smartphones, Aircraft, Artificial Pacemakers, and Powerful Weapons are examples of products that allow manufacturers can achieve technical growth and economic development. They are considered the basis for the development of any electronic item.
The illegal technical invasion of China in Taiwan
The Taiwanese government has accused China of conducting economic warfare to conquer Taiwan’s tech sector.
China has allegedly invaded the technical employees and technical secrets in the name of warfare by conducting all of these initiatives, which is a huge loss for Taiwan both technically and economically.
