Taiwan and U.S. Tensions With China Pose ‘Serious’ Challenges for Chip Industry

Posted by: Paul Cannon Hill [Fritzchens Fritz / Public domain] By Sarah Wu | Reuters HSINCHU, Taiwan, Oct 19 (Reuters) – Rising Taiwan-China and U.S.-China tensions have brought “more serious” challenges for the semiconductor industry, the chairman of Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC (2330.TW) said on Wednesday. Taiwan is a major producer of chips used in everything from cars and smartphones to data centres and fighter jets, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) is the world’s largest contract chipmaker and Asia’s most valuable listed firm. While the chips sector is already bracing for waning demand as red-hot inflation squeezes spending, Taiwan faces a tougher situation – sandwiched between its largest export market China and...

Photo by Frolda on Unsplash By Dave DeCamp / Antiwar.com The Senate’s version of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will include $10 billion in military aid for Taiwan, Defense News reported on Monday.

Other FMF recipients need waivers to use the funds to purchase arms...

The Onus Is on Biden & Putin

Posted by: Paul Cannon Hill We are, literally, on the eve of destruction. Now is the time for the kind of political maturity leaders rarely demonstrate.

(U.S. Navy, James Kimber) By Scott RitterSpecial to Consortium News Wars should be avoided at all costs. Nuclear conflict should never be contemplated. These two truisms are often spoken, but rarely adhered to. Wars occur all too frequently, and so long as nations possess nuclear weapons, their use is contemplated on a continuous basis. The ongoing Ukrainian-Russian conflict has put the world’s two largest nuclear powers on opposing sides, with the U.S. supporti...

(Anthony Jones, Public Domain) By Scott RitterSpecial to Consortium News Six months into Russia’s “Special Military Operation,” fact-challenged reporting that constitutes Western media’s approach to covering the conflict in Ukraine has become apparent to any discerning audience.

The Death List

The odious legacy of Stepan Bandera drives the suppression of those who dare challenge the narrative of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict promulgated by the Ukrainian government, its Western allies and a compliant mainstream media.

Pipelines v. USA

Intent, motive and means: People serving life sentences in U.S. prisons have been convicted on weaker grounds than the circumstantial evidence against Washington for the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines.
