    Taiwan’s Hsinchu Ecosystem: How It Shapes AI PCs, Servers, and Chip Sovereignty

    Taiwan’s semiconductor ecosystem has become the indispensable middle mile of modern computing, with the island controlling more than 60 percent of global foundry revenue and more than 90 percent of leading-edge chip production as of the latest trade and industry reporting. That is not merely a...
