The Taiwan government has restricted investments in China on concerns that the island will lose jobs and technology to its political rival. Yet Taiwan’s chipmakers, which account for about a fifth of the world’s production, have different concerns. They’ve pointed to the need to tap into China’s huge chip market, which is expected to lead global growth during the rest of this decade.
