This reflects how Japan is warming up to working with Donald Trump as a strategic ally against the influence of China. The US has helped the Taiwanese chipmaker TSM set up its fabs within the country, but that could expand to a bigger scale if the partnership with Japanese investors materializes.\nTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM), established in 1987, is the world’s top producer of technology computer chips. TSM has a specialty in the production of electronic chips for a number of applications such as cell phones, car signal systems, and supercomputing. The revenue comes mainly from the production of chips through cutting-edge technologies. The giant’s unique business model tends to provide contract manufacturing for renowned companies like Apple, Nvidia, and AMD.\n Pixabay/Public Domain \nThe investment by Son is expected to be obtained from SoftBank’s Vision Fund or Arm Holdings, where SoftBank owns a significant stake. Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) announced to expand its Arizona-based operations by constructing a third factory, bringing its U.S. investment to $65 billion. The project is being financed concurrently by the U.S. government, which will provide $6.6 billion in subsidies and $5 billion in loans. It is designed to assist in the local production of semiconductors, which will lead to a decrease in reliance on Asian countries, particularly China.\nThe U.S. Chips Act draws attention to the vital need for independence of the nation in the semiconductor industry, especially at a time when there are tensions with China. By implicitly joining forces with Japan and Taiwan, America is developing a strong interconnected system to checkmate China’s upfront domination as far as semiconductor production is concerned. This alliance goes beyond the economic dimension, it’s indeed a method of leveraging geopolitics.\nThe partnership with Japanese businesses could have more implications for the US tech industry than just the creation of jobs. Son’s SoftBank has a 90% stake in Arm Holdings, the same company that is going to court this week for its dispute with Qualcomm. Considering the fact that the US wants to focus on defeating China in AI developments, it doesn’t make sense that one of its key AI equipment makers is embroiled in a legal battle with a company belonging to a strategic ally. One can therefore expect a swift resolution of the licensing dispute by the end of this week.\nIn a parallel development, Google’s Waymo will begin its Robotaxi operations in Tokyo by the start of 2025. The move is part of a development program where the company tests its vehicles and technology in various cities so it can develop the tech through the feedback received. The project involves a partnership with two Japanese companies: GO and Nihon Kotsu.\nBoth Japan and the US seem to be coming closer as Trump’s term begins. Once he is in office, one can expect these developments to accelerate, and that’s when the US tech landscape can really change, especially in the context of the Chinese threat.\nTSM is 9th on our latest list of the 31 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 158 hedge fund portfolios held TSM at the end of the third quarter which was 156 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of TSM as a leading investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is as promising as TSM but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.\nREAD NEXT: $30 Trillion Opportunity: 15 Best Humanoid Robot Stocks to Buy According to Morgan Stanley and Jim Cramer Says NVIDIA ‘Has Become A Wasteland’.\nDisclosure: None.
