Business reporter, in Singapore | |
Taiwan is crucial to the world economy as it is | |
home to technology giants like computer chip maker Taiwan Semiconductor | |
Manufacturing Corp (TSMC) and iPhone manufacturer Foxconn. | |
TSMC is a major producer of semiconductors for tech | |
firms including Apple and Nvidia. | |
As well as making devices for Apple, Foxconn also | |
manufactures electronics products including Amazon’s Kindle and video game consoles | |
for Nintendo, Sega and Sony. | |
Following the earthquake, TSMC said it had evacuated some of its factories to ensure all of its personnel were safe and that they were starting to return to their workplaces. | |
The company also said it was confirming the details of the earthquake's impact on its operations. | |
Foxconn did not immediately respond to a BBC request for comment. | |
The island’s tech firms also | |
produce components, including printed circuit boards and advanced camera | |
lenses. | |
Taiwanese companies are also major suppliers for global | |
clothing brands like Nike and Adidas. | |
