Semiconductors are the backbone of modern technology, from smartphones to electric vehicles. Taiwan dominates the global semiconductor market, manufacturing over 60% of all semiconductors worldwide and a staggering 90% of the most advanced ones. The country's leading semiconductor manufacturer, TSMC, has been the sole producer of the most advanced semiconductors, which have exclusively been made in Taiwan. ‘’To understand semiconductors, the world must understand Taiwan and TSMC’’ said Chris Miller, the author of “Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology” which is The Financial Times Business Book of the Year.
