Taiwanese car industry is an utter failure. Partnering with them to make EVs is throwing money into the trashcan.
They produce ~0.01 cars per capita (~240k) and declining.
China produces 30 million cars - 0.02 cars per capita. Double the car production per capita than Taiwan.
Taiwan has 0 automotive exports.
There are 0 automotive brands of note from Taiwan.
You can't drive a chip just like you can't watch a chip, which is why TCL, Hisense, etc. are making bank as TV producers. The display matters, the physical actuators matter, not just the computing device.
I was thinking about parts and electronics components. Taiwan does have auto parts exports. EVs require more electronics components which Taiwan should be able to supply.
