        Recently, a Japanese ruling party lawmaker said TSMC is considering building a second factory in Japan.
        Yoshihiro Seki, secretary general of Japan's legislative chip industry strategy group, said the Japanese government is constantly encouraging the establishment of fabs in the country and has now provided TSMC with financial subsidies of up to 476 billion yen for its factory in Kumamoto.
        Yoshihiro Seki's LDP team has been advocating the strengthening of Japan's semiconductor industry, which held more than 50 percent of the global market share in the 1980s and is now less than 10 percent.
         Although TSMC did not explicitly respond to the news, it did say that it would not rule out any possibility for Japan, and that the incentive and demand for semiconductors in Japan is no weaker than elsewhere in the world.
