Taiwan's exports saw a significant drop of 18.1% in August 2024, marking the 12th consecutive month of decline and reaching US$31.69 billion. Imports also decreased by 2.5% to US$29.38 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of US$2.31 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 40.8%. Integrated circuit exports experienced a notable decrease of 16%, while plastic and rubber product exports declined by 21.6%. The Ministry of Finance attributed the continued export slump to sluggish global demand for consumer electronics and weak economic performance from key trading partners like China and ASEAN countries. However, there's optimism for improvement in the coming months due to anticipated launches of new consumer electronics and a gradual global economic recovery.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) founder Morris Chang stated on Tuesday (Dec. 5) that globalization and free trade are "almost dead," and the U.S.' efforts to rebuild domestic chip production will prove "very expensive and futile." Chang believes that while the U.S. possesses some advantages in design and design automation software, it lacks the talent pool necessary for substantial semiconductor manufacturing expansion. He emphasized the significant cost difference between chip production in the U.S. and Taiwan, estimating a 50% higher cost in America. Chang made these remarks during a lunch event hosted by the Brookings Institution.
