    Intel and AMD reap nearly 30% of revenue from China, yet US semiconductor imports are just 3%—What's behind the discrepancy?
    Washington's export controls and escalating US-China chip tensions have dominated headlines, but American semiconductor leaders continue to rely heavily on the Chinese market. In 2023, China drove 27% of Intel's global revenue, roughly US$14.6 billion, and 15% of AMD's, about US$3.4 billion. Nvidia reported China accounted for over 13% of its fiscal 2025 revenue, totaling approximately US$17 billion. Despite Beijing's push for self-reliance, these numbers highlight China's critical role for US chipmakers. However, Chinese customs data reveals a stark contrast, with US semiconductors comprising just 3% of China's total chip imports.

    Navigating the tariff storm: AUO's strategic response and the viability of US-based manufacturing
    As the global supply chain continues to reel from the tariff war ignited by US President Donald Trump, Paul SL Peng, chairman of AUO, offers a measured analysis of the situation. He observes that, as panels are classified as components, tariffs have a relatively muted direct impact on AUO's business, with the brunt of the cost ultimately borne by importers and end customers. After a comprehensive review, Peng estimates that in 2025, only 10-15% of AUO's revenue will be exposed to the US market, with the actual financial impact from tariffs unlikely to exceed US$200 million. Consequently, the direct effect on AUO's bottom line remains limited.
