Recently, Reuters reported that MediaTek CEO Cai Lixing said in an interview with Reuters that in the tension between China and the United States, some wafer manufacturers are discussing transferring part of the supply chain from Taiwan, China, although this is a "gradual" action, and there are no signs of large-scale order transfers.
Reuters' report also stated that Cai Lixing pointed out that some large equipment manufacturers require chip suppliers to have diverse sources, such as from Taiwan, the United States, Germany or Europe. "I think in these cases, if the business needs it, we will have to find multiple sources for the same chip."
In response to this, MediaTek released a major information clarification today, stating that it has no intention to transfer the supply chain from Taiwan, China in any form.
MediaTek said that on November 13, US time, Reuters issued an article incorrectly quoted a speech by MediaTek CEO Cai Lixing. The article was corrected afterwards, with the title Chip firm MediaTek CEO sees manufacturers expanding supply chain beyond Taiwan (MedTek CEO believes that manufacturers will expand the supply chain outside Taiwan).
MediaTek pointed out: "As the fourth largest fable semiconductor design company in the world, MediaTek has always adopted a diversified supplier strategy to provide global customer needs. In addition to the recent cooperation with Intel in mature processes, high-end processes continue to maintain close partnerships with TSMC. At the same time, most of the production capacity supply still depends on the semiconductor supply chain of Taiwan, China.
MediaTek has been deeply involved in Taiwan, China, and has invested and purchased nearly 300 billion NT$3 NT$3 in Taiwan in the future. In the future, it will continue to be based on the strong semiconductor supply chain of Taiwan, China, and actively expand global customers and businesses."
