Japan to pull global semiconductor investment to counter China

Semiconductor market' swirl-wind created by geopolitic forces now getting centred around Japan. With China gaining huge capacity nearly in all areas of semiconductor technology, other semiconductor expert-regions are worried, mainly the US. Although US nearly hold dominating position in many areas of semiconductor technology, it was supporting globalisation trend of selected technologies centred around different geographic regions like semiconductor-memory in South Korea, advanced logic in Taiwan, semiconductor IP development in Europe. Japan and US both have near similar capabilities where they outsource lot of electronics and semiconductor related work to the companies outside their countries including design services. This spread of expertise is threatened by China focusing on every aspect of semiconductor engineering, manufacturing, design, IP, nearly all the key elements of semiconductor areas starting from silicon material to software. One of the way to balance this trend, is by making Japan further stronger in semiconductor manufacturing. In fact it is already strong in core except for trailing with competition in some areas, it's only a matter of leading semiconductor industry stakeholders giving more attention and prioritising their expansion plans to locate in Japan. In that direction, heads from top semiconductor companies such as TSMC, Samsung, Intel, Micron have...
