US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emphasized the necessity for the United States to manufacture semiconductors domestically rather than relying on Taiwan, citing national security concerns. He highlighted Taiwan's proximity to China—only 80 miles away—and the 9,500-mile distance from the US as factors making dependence on Taiwan for 99% of leading-edge chips untenable. Lutnick's remarks, made during an interview with CNBC, have sparked criticism among Taiwanese netizens. The broader debate on US semiconductor policy includes concerns that current approaches may harm key allies and inadvertently benefit China. Analysts argue that the US must balance national security with maintaining strong international partnerships to sustain its technological leadership in the 21st century.
