According to the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, since President Donald Trump took office, the US has imposed tariffs on multiple countries and a range of products, with plans to extend these tariffs to sectors like semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles. This has heightened trade policy uncertainty and exacerbated the risks of a global economic slowdown.
Montage Technology reported robust first-quarter 2025 results, with revenue climbing 65.78% year-over-year to CNY1.222 billion (approx. US$167 million). Net profit attributable to shareholders jumped 135.14% to CNY525 million, marking record highs across key financial indicators.
As the US continues to recalibrate its trade policy toward China, Taiwanese technology suppliers find themselves caught in a state of strategic limbo, anxious over the potential implications of every twist and turn in US tariff decisions.
