Amidst tensions, Taiwan can give a big blow to China in the chip deal, may cancel the $ 800 million chip deal

Taiwan has started to bolster its semiconductor defence as China’s navy retreats from its shores. In this case, authorities could put pressure on Foxconn to cancel the $ 800 million contract it had with a Chinese chipmaker. Hon Hai Precision was the previous name for Foxconn. Taiwan is also attempting to prevent its finest engineers from becoming trapped in Chinese enterprises on the mainland.
