As Taiwan's chip industry faces uncertainty, both Trump and Harris pose risks. The US government has provided funding for Taiwanese company TSMC to build facilities in Arizona, diversifying its supply chain. However, the industry is concerned about Chinese competitors flooding the market with legacy chips, causing overcapacity. Additionally, US export restrictions on advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment could impact Taiwan's trade. While some engineers are hopeful that a Harris administration would be more beneficial for the high-tech industry in Taiwan, others are worried about Trump's unpredictable nature and potential trade restrictions.
