The critical battleground for scam prevention is money flow. Singapore has adopted robotic process automation (RPA) to drive the “Automation of Scam-fighting Tactics & Reaching Out” initiative, building real-time coordination between police and banks and replacing the previously passive sequence of “report first, freeze later.”

Last year, Taiwan became Singapore’s largest trading partner and source of imports for the first time. Approximately 85% of Taiwan’s exports to Singapore were semiconductor-related products, while about 80% of Singapore’s exports to Taiwan fell into the same category. In the first two months of 2025, Taiwan’s exports to Singapore grew by 56%, while Singapore’s semiconductor industry expanded by nearly 52%, demonstrating strong industrial linkage and mutual prosperity.

Even as TSMC’s international footprint reaches unprecedented scale, the center of gravity of global chip manufacturing remains—and for the foreseeable future will continue to remain—firmly anchored in Taiwan.
