Taiwan Plans $4 Billion Texas AI Hub for Nvidia Supply Chain

Taiwan plans a $4B Texas AI hub to support Nvidia's supply chain, aiding smaller suppliers with a U.S. presence. Nvidia relies on firms like TSMC, and Taiwan is also tightening export rules on AI processors for China. This could localize Nvidia's supply chain but may restrict access to China's IT market.
