Geopolitics of Technology in Taiwan: A Key Factor in Strategic Competition

Taiwan occupies a pivotal position in the realm of technological geopolitics due to its dominance in semiconductor manufacturing and strategic location in the Indo-Pacific region. As global powers increasingly depend on advanced technologies for economic and security imperatives, Taiwan has emerged as a critical player in the strategic calculus of nations like the United States, China, and their allies. While these powers emphasise the One-China Policy in their diplomatic engagements, their growing collaboration with Taiwan inadvertently intensifies China's aggressive stance toward the island. This dynamic underscores Taiwan's dual role as both a bridge and a flashpoint in global strategic competition.
