1: How important are semiconductors between the India-Taiwan bilateral ties?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2a: How\u2019s the development of an AI-technology innovation ecosystem linked to semiconductors?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2b How\u2019s Taiwan important for Indian AI?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2c\u00a0 Is \u2018AI bias\u2019 one sphere in which India and Taiwan should collaborate? I think AI bias will be used in narrative warfare by China. So, it sounds logical that India will look towards Taiwan for it. That\u2019s why this question.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3: Do you think Taiwan will determine the QUAD\u2019s Indo-Pacific policy? Do you think Taiwan will be included in QUAD Plus?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. Do you think,\u00a0 that Taiwanese TSMC’s $100 billion investment in the US has any lessons for India-Taiwan bilateral ties?<\/span><\/p>\n Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company\u2019s (TSMC) $100 billion investment in the U.S. offers several lessons for India-Taiwan bilateral ties, particularly in the semiconductor sector.<\/span><\/p>\n TSMC’s investment in the U.S. is not merely a business move but a strategic decision driven by geopolitical concerns, primarily supply chain resilience and U.S.-China tensions. Similarly, India must recognise the strategic value of deepening semiconductor cooperation with Taiwan, not just as an economic initiative but as a crucial aspect of national security and self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Taiwan seeks to diversify its semiconductor production due to concerns about a potential Chinese invasion. The U.S. has emerged as one alternative, and India could position itself as another. New Delhi can present itself as a stable and growing economy with skilled labour and a commitment to semiconductor self-sufficiency.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The U.S. successfully attracted TSMC by offering massive incentives under the CHIPS Act, including subsidies, tax breaks, and infrastructure support. Under its Semiconductor Mission, India is offering similar incentives, but the challenge is ensuring a competitive ecosystem<\/strong>, covering land acquisition, power supply, and water availability (all crucial for fabs). If India wants Taiwanese firms like TSMC or UMC to invest, it must streamline regulatory processes and enhance the ease of doing business.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please Do Comment.<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
