The United States, Taiwan, and China are bound within a “Silicon Triangle” that links our geopolitics, ongoing economic prosperity, and technological competitiveness. The more than two dozen participants in this working group have worked together for eighteen months to better understand this strategic triangle.
The questions considered include:
- How can the United States mitigate the risks of semiconductor supply chain disruptions and become an even more competitive player in this foundational critical technology?
- How can this be done in a way that preserves Taiwan’s self-governing democracy, underpins its prosperity and our partnership, and promotes stability in the Taiwan Strait?
- How can we work with global partners to respond to new vulnerabilities stemming from China’s state-driven global semiconductor ambitions?
As with other critical technologies where economic and national security interests will increasingly intersect, ensuring continued semiconductor security will require continuous policy adaptation as the US-China relationship changes.
