REPORTER:  
Taiwan’s government is working with private companies to establish multiple industrial parks in the US.

Kung Ming-hsin (ECONOMICS MINISTER):  
All companies, not just TSMC  
are generally required to get approval  
from our Investment Commission  
for major overseas investments above a certain amount.  
We maintain communication with companies  
on matters like these.

REPORTER:  
Speaking to Bloomberg, Economics Minister Kung Ming-hsin says the first park is planned for Texas, with each expected to cost up to 4 billion US dollars. The parks would help small and medium-sized suppliers set up US operations to support bigger tech companies including TSMC and Foxconn.

The announcement comes as TSMC evaluates potential cooperation with Elon Musk's Terafab project in Texas.
