EP3-2 | Global News: Chip Tariffs, Taiwan Space Startup Breaks Even, Taiwan Expo USA Highlights
Season 3 Episode 2
This week, we take a closer look at three stories shaping technology, business, and Taiwan’s role in the global arena.
Chip Tariffs Intensify
U.S. President Donald Trump is once again using tariffs to push semiconductor production back to America. This move challenges decades of globalized supply chains and sharpens U.S.–China tech rivalry. We chose this story because Taiwan’s central role in chipmaking means the policy could have a direct and lasting impact on its industry and international partnerships.
Taiwan Space Startup Breaks Even
Tensor Tech, a space startup from Taiwan known for its spherical motors now regularly flying on SpaceX missions, has reached financial break-even in 2025. We highlight this story because it marks a milestone in deep-tech innovation, showing how a young company can carve out a position in the global space economy.
Taiwan Expo USA Triumphs
The Taiwan Expo USA 2025 in Dallas drew more than ten thousand participants and over a hundred companies, securing multiple cross-border collaborations. We feature this story because it underscores Taiwan’s growing presence in the U.S. market and reflects how industry and culture together strengthen Taiwan–U.S. relations.
