Taiwan urges US to ease anti-China rhetoric and chip tensions.

Taiwan has reportedly asked the US to tone down its anti-China rhetoric, which has been harming the country's business interests. The US has been warning about the dangers of relying on chips made in Taiwan, which sparked concerns about the strategic importance of the island nation. Taiwan's semiconductor industry is a major contributor to its economy, but it is caught between China and the US. The US is trying to minimize its reliance on imported chips by building up its own domestic manufacturing capacity through CHIPS Act funding. Taiwanese officials have engaged in informal discussions with their American counterparts to address the issue.
