The chip giant said it has seen no impact on production. Both Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation and United Microelectronics Corp signed contracts with water trucks and said there was no impact on production.\nVanguard said it has started a drill to truck water to its facilities in the northern city of Hsinchu.\nTaiwanese technology companies have long complained about a chronic water shortage, which became more acute after factories expanded production following a Sino-U.S. trade war.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":361831894,"gmtCreate":1614218801818,"gmtModify":1704889714218,"author":{"id":"3574137625928817","authorId":"3574137625928817","name":"Go4good","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d6cba44f6fd16fdf2c1ddcd31d87971","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574137625928817","authorIdStr":"3574137625928817"},"htmlText":"How
