Malaysia Rises as Crucial Link in Chip Supply Chain - New York Times
U.S. and European companies looking to diversify from China are expanding around Southeast Asia, a sign of how geopolitics is reshaping tech manufacturing.
Malaysia has become a crucial link in the global chip supply chain, with many European and American companies choosing to move or expand their operations in the country.
Companies like Intel, Infineon, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, Ericsson, Bosch, and Lam Research are investing billions of dollars in Malaysia's manufacturing sector.
Malaysia's strategic location in Southeast Asia, its well-developed ecosystem in the semiconductor industry, and its government support for foreign investment have made it an attractive destination for tech companies.
