This article analyzes the geo-economic impact of the U.S.-China tech war on Taiwanese multinational semiconductor companies and their response strategies. Geo-economics refers to the phenomenon where countries utilize existing financial, trade relations, and other economic tools to achieve their geopolitical and economic objectives, a trend particularly evident in the U.S.-China tech war. The article points out that the perspectives of two international relations theories, realism and liberalism, have limitations when explaining the behavior of Taiwanese multinational semiconductor companies. Therefore, it proposes an alternative analytical framework that emphasizes understanding these companies'response strategies through their dependence on U.S. technology and markets and their position in the global supply chain. Through case studies of MediaTek, TSMC, and ASE Technology Holdings, the article finds that these companies exhibit different strategic choices in terms of technological constraints, supply chain management, and market positioning. The findings suggest that these companies not only need to demonstrate flexibility and innovation in the global market but also need to further diversify their market and technological dependencies to mitigate future geoeconomic risks. |
