President Moon Jae-in is striving to guide Korean chipmakers that have been forced to play a balancing act in the escalating standoff between the U.S. and China.
Experts said Korea s semiconductor industry should be viewed as a matter of national security, requiring a diplomatic approach to accompany the strategies of private businesses. Such an approach, according to experts, would ensure that the industry retains its edge amid attempts by the U.S. and China to include Korean chipmakers in their supply chains.
