hello and welcome to asia business report. i'm steve lai. we begin in taiwan where rescue efforts are under way a day after a violent earthquake killed at least nine people and injured more than 1,000. on an island that produces more than half of the world's semiconductors, there's also been disruption to the chip—making industry. tsmc says employees are returning to work after the chipmaker evacuated several of its factories in the city of hsinchu and southern taiwan. the company has said there's been no damage to its critical tools. marco mezger is the co—founder of memory chip technology company neumonda and he says this time around taiwan's earthquake preparedness protected its high—tech industries. the first reports of a piercing right now is also that there is no major damage or disruption on the production. we are talking at the moment at six

hours of disruption, 60 million damage of the statement they have given yesterday. given the fact i've seen these machines are highly sensitive and to be checked carefully in order to make sure that which is produced that are coming out in high quality. so when you think about the share of advanced process notes for the country business, this is more than 65% for the world's production, this is basically on this island. ai servers 100% produced in taiwan. so in this regard taiwan has learned from devastating earthquake in 1999 which was 25 years ago, where there was a power outage for almost a week before they could jump almost a week before they could jump back. this is not happened yesterday. so taiwan was better prepared to cope with the situation.— prepared to cope with the situation. , , h, situation. given there is so

much chip _ situation. given there is so much chip that _ situation. given there is so much chip that happens i situation. given there is so much chip that happens in | much chip that happens in taiwan in a place has such an outsized rule in the chip—making industry, do you think this will give other companies pause for thought, about diversifying, having chip facilities outside of taiwan, may be more increasingly important?— may be more increasingly important? may be more increasingly imortant? ., ., , important? you have seen in the last few years — important? you have seen in the last few years especially - last few years especially during and after the but that make the geopolitics has been the driving force in regards to restoring or relocating capacities so in my personal opinion i think already many years ago we would not have to think about where we have manufacturing of semiconductors. so is concentrated in taiwan, concentrated in taiwan, concentrated in taiwan, concentrated in japan. concentrated in taiwan, concentrated injapan. they are pretty well known for challenges in re: natural disasters, typhoons, earthquakes. but the driving increase at the moment, why these factories have to move in other regions of the world, to europe, southeast asia and others, it is not a national

example, it is driven by geopolitics —— national disaster. geopolitics -- national disaster.— well speaking of diversifying semi—conductor production, the world's second largest chip—maker, sk hynix, has announced it will invest nearly $4—billion in a facility in the us state of indiana. the new plant will include an advanced production line to manufacture the next—generation of chips, which will be used to train artificial intelligence models. the uss treasury secretary janet yellen is due to arrive in china on thursday — her second visit to the country in just nine months. yellen is scheduled to meet top chinese officials including premier li qiang, as well as representatives of us companies operating in china. the us treasury department says her discussions with chinese officials will highlight what washington describes as "unfair trade practices". the trip comes after president biden spoke with president xi in a phone call earlier this week. frank lavin is a former us trade negotiator, and he says there are signs of stabilization in relations between the us and china.

well, i think there's a little bit of instability in the relationship over the last few months. china's economic growth has tapered off a bit and they're grappling with the housing crisis as well. so i think there's a little more willingness on china's side to look for ways to improve the relationship with the us. and i think the us has somewhat the same incentive, that a relationship that is only negative is not that appealing and there needs to be some kind of positive channel amidst all this negativity. yellen seems keen to keep communications going. what will be her main priorities for this visit? i think the trade issues and climate issues will be the two points you'll try to make. but i but i think the broader point is, just as you described it, that we cannot have a relationship that is entirely characterised by ill will and criticism. that has to be some positive channel going. google, the search engine used by more than a billion people around

the world, is reported to be considering charging for premium content generated by artificial intelligence. according to the financial times, the company, is said to be revamping its business model and looking at putting some of its core product behind a paywall. it would be the first time google had charged for any of its content. google said it did not have anything to announce "right now". staying with artificial intelligence. billie eilish, pearljam and nicki minaj are among more than 200 artists who ve signed an open letter to tech companies and ai developers calling for an end to predatory use of artificial intelligence in the industry. 0ur north america business correspondent — michelle fleury has more from new york. to billie eilish, ai is the new bad guy, for katy perry it is time for rice. a growing number of musicians wearing companies are training ai models to replace human artists. more than 200 ofjoined with the artists rights alliance, a nonprofit to demand protection against ai. in an open letter
