Beijing considers Taiwan its territory. The authorities of the island state hold the opposite opinion. Taiwan is considered the center of the world’s semiconductor industry. The production facilities of TSMC, the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer, are located on the island. That is why Taiwan is under the protectorate of the United States.
