Group 1 - The U.S. is demanding Taiwan to invest between $350 billion and $550 billion as part of ongoing tariff negotiations, with a target to finalize the agreement by the end of November [1] - Analysts suggest Taiwan's motivation for the trade agreement is to avoid potential new tariffs on its semiconductor industry imposed by the U.S. [1] - The investment demands for Taiwan are positioned as a minimum requirement compared to South Korea's commitment of $200 billion and Japan's $550 billion, highlighting Taiwan's economic vulnerability [3] Group 2 - If Taiwan agrees to the lower end of the investment range ($350 billion), it would represent over 43% of Taiwan's projected GDP of $793.2 billion for 2024, while the upper end ($550 billion) would account for nearly 70% [4] - Taiwan's semiconductor industry is crucial to the global high-tech sector and is closely tied to the U.S., with some Taiwanese semiconductor companies already increasing investments in the U.S. [5] - The economic impact of the investment on Taiwan is expected to be significantly greater than on South Korea or Japan due to Taiwan's smaller economy and higher dependency on U.S. industries [4]
