Liu said he looked forward to Taiwan's industry, government and hilltop technology academia developing "more concrete, constructive measures" on industrial policies related to innovation, research, talent education and retention "to maintain Taiwan's most critical semiconductor industry advantages".

The new rules require U.S.

companies to cease supplying Chinese chipmakers with equipment to make relatively advanced chips, though Washington has granted some non-Chinese companies operating in China one-year licenses.

TSMC's dominance in making some of the world's most advanced chips for high-end customers such as Apple Inc and Qualcomm Inc has shielded it in recent quarters from the downturn flagged by chipmakers including Micron Technology Inc.
