“In July this year, Japan announced it will provide a subsidy up to 92.9 billion yen ($680 million) to Kioxia Corp. and Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:WDC) for a semiconductor production facility as part of efforts to secure stable domestic chip production. In a break with its past economic nationalism, it is also seeking to form a coalition with allies such as the US and the European Union to build a semiconductor supply chain that is less geographically concentrated and so better insulated from disasters and geopolitical instability. Beyond providing inputs to nearly every industry, the semiconductor industry is generating value for the economy, stimulating jobs, and paying high- income to workers.”
