The entire semiconductor industry seemed to be holding its breath as Nancy Pelosi’s plane made its final approach to Taipei this week. Some in the sector now appear to be exhaling. The dramatic slate of responses from China to the House Speaker’s visit has notably sidestepped the chip issue — signaling that both the U.S. and China hope to keep Taiwan’s valuable semiconductor factories humming no matter what else happens in the coming weeks and months. “I think both the U.S. and China are… Source link

After more than a year of negotiations, Congress is on the cusp of passing a bill to alleviate the chip shortage and shore up U.S. competitiveness with China — in part by giving $50 billion to the semiconductor industry. The Senate voted 64-32 on Tuesday to end debate on the so-called “CHIPS+” bill. This key step, which required 60 votes, now sets the stage for final passage in the coming days. As the key procedural step got underway, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the… Source link
