US-Taiwan ties 'never been stronger', top diplomat says

The US-Taiwan relationship has never been stronger, according to the top American diplomat in Taipei. Taiwan is playing a crucial role in re-industrialising the United States through its tech investments, particularly with TSMC's $265 billion investment in Arizona. Speaking at a recent event, Raymond Greene, the de facto US ambassador to Taipei, praised the bilateral ties, highlighting the deepening cooperation in high-tech and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Taiwan's investments are not only boosting the US economy but also creating new opportunities for US companies to establish operations in Taiwan's semiconductor hubs. The US government's CHIPS Act aims to secure American prosperity and innovation by reshoring semiconductor manufacturing and creating jobs. Despite occasional criticism from the Trump administration, Taiwan continues to support its companies in increasing their investments in the United States.
