Pegatron Head: Nvidia Fees Are Not Taiwan’s Burden
Pegatron Chair Tung Tzu-hsien says Taiwan’s tech firms won’t shoulder the 25% fee tied to Nvidia’s sales of advanced AI chips to China. He tells TaiwanPlus that in contract manufacturing, companies like TSMC only produce chips for clients, who bear the related costs. Tung's comments follow US President Donald Trump’s approval of Nvidia’s H200 chip sales to China, including a 25% charge that may be collected as an import tax when shipped from Taiwan.
