Tensions between China and Taiwan have come to the brink of war. As of this morning, the island of Taiwan was under siege from the air and sea. Thereupon, the USA tried to prevent the invasion by sending a representative. But the ropes came to the breaking point. So, which Taiwan-based technology companies will be most affected by this situation?
Taiwan-based technology companies!
- TSMC
- acer
- Asus
- gigabyte
- foxconn
- Sea Sonic
- Realtek
- HTC
- Lenovo
- MediaTek
- A4Tech
- MSI
- ADATA
- Zyxel
- ASRock
- BenQ-Siemens
- E-TEN
- Compal Electronics
- ViewSonic
- Thermaltake
The Taiwan-based technology companies we shared above are actually only the tip of the list. For example, TSMC is the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the technology market. This means that many of the technological devices we use, from smartphones to cars, contain chips produced by TSMC.
TSMC is upset: Intel and Samsung are joining forces!
Samsung Electronics announced that it has teamed up with Intel for a potential collaboration in the semiconductor industry.
For example, the new iPhone 14 series will be introduced at the event to be held by Apple on September 13. These devices will feature A15 and A16 processors manufactured by TSMC. Considering that the company allocates almost half of its production capacity to Apple, iPhone 14 models may be withdrawn from the market in a possible war scenario.
Of course, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, AMD, MediaTek, Marvell Technology, STMicroelectronics and many other companies that outsource production to Broadcom TSMC will also be affected. Moreover, these are the ones that will only suffer if TSMC shuts down.

Therefore, almost all technology companies rely on Taiwan-based production, from processors to displays or Wi-Fi antennas. It is predicted that most companies will go bankrupt in the event of a possible war, as is the case between Russia and Ukraine. In addition, all technology production, especially automobiles, telephones, computers and white goods, is interrupted or even stopped.
