Upon returning to Taiwan on October 1, Taiwan's lead tariff negotiator unequivocally expressed that Taiwan would not consent to the agreement put forth by the United States, which entailed relocating half of its semiconductor manufacturing capacity to the US. Earlier, US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick had mentioned on the US News Nation television network that Washington was keen on forging a '50-50 split' arrangement for semiconductor production with Taiwan. This arrangement would imply that both the United States and Taiwan would share the production burden equally, each contributing half of the capacity required for manufacturing the chips needed by the US. At present, Taiwan remains the primary hub for chip production, with the lion's share of the world's chips still being manufactured there.
