“Taiwan took our chip business from us,” the returnee US presidential contender told Bloomberg Businessweek in an interview published this week.

The remarks came after the Republican nominee was asked whether he would defend Taiwan against China. It is not the first time he has said this about the nation’s chip sector, but comes amid heightened military, trade and technology rivalry between the two superpowers.
