WASHINGTON—The White House sent a letter to the Taiwanese government on Feb. 17 seeking its help to resolve a global shortage of computer chips that has wreaked havoc on the automotive industry. The letter stated that the “future is bright” for U.S.–Taiwan relations amid threats from China.
President Joe Biden’s top economic adviser, Brian Deese, addressed the letter to Taiwan Economy Minister Wang Mei-hua, and thanked her for working with Taiwanese chipmakers to ease the global shortfall.
