We continue to talk about the chip crisis and in particular of the two large poles that deal with supplying the world: Taiwan e China. The first of the two countries is the largest supplier globally thanks to companies such as TSMC, which we talked about recently. China, on the other hand, is trying to depend as little as possible on other countries for the supply of microprocessors and therefore bets on local production. It might seem like a situation in which the two countries have nothing in common, but in reality this is not the case. Let's see why.
There is no talk of chip warfare, but the situation between Taiwan and China is not the best in this period: this is what is happening
Standing by a Nikkei Asia report, the Taiwanese government issued an order that prohibits Taiwanese or Taiwan-based companies from recruiting personnel in mainland China. A measure that will mainly apply to the semiconductor sector. Therefore, companies cannot post job offers for positions located in China. Basically Taiwan wants to keep its talents to itself related to the production of chips and avoid a "brain drain".
The Taiwanese authorities state that "China has become more aggressive and targets Taiwanese top talent to help build a self-sustaining supply chain". For this reason the penis in case of recruitment by Chinese companies will be very high, especially in the microprocessor sector. Recall that the lack of post-pandemic planning has meant that i large chip makers failed to produce on demand. The situation then worsened if we consider that a vicious circle of supply.
This problem is added to another that can hardly be controlled, namely the drought in Taiwan. The lack of water supplies is bringing producers like TSMC to their knees who are forced to buy water from outside, which will go to burden on production costs.
