NVIDIA to Relocate Logistics Center From Hong Kong to Taiwan

According to news out of Taiwan, NVIDIA is getting ready to move its logistics center from Hong Kong to Taiwan. The information comes from Taiwan's Minister of Economic Affairs, Wang Mei-Hua, so the source should be fairly reliable. The Taiwanese government has apparently been in negotiation with NVIDIA since some time last year and the two have now reached a consensus.

The media report didn't mention where NVIDIA will locate its new logistics center, but the company and the Taiwanese government have been discussing tax subsidies to help facilitate the move. Wang told the local media that the new logistics center should boost the local industry, least not because NVIDIA is already working with TSMC, as well as many other local suppliers and manufacturers. No details were given on when the move would take place, but it's likely to be a transition that will be drawn out, due to the fact that NVIDIA is still going to have to supply all of its customers during the move.

Wait. Didn’t Pat say Taiwan was unstable then said stable to get TSMC orders then changed back to unstable? I guess Nvidia made this decision on one of Pat’s swings back to stable.

I hope they can prosecute and stop Moore threads too. They're clearly using stolen Nvidia IP.

If these talks started 2 years ago then that coincides with China letting it be known it no longer has the intention of abiding by the 50 year agreement of letting Hong Kong remain autonomous until 2047. So at that point Nvidia said message received and started making plans to get the heck out of dodge.

Maybe by 7.07%LO.L :laugh: Guess Nvidia got tired of shipping disruptions due to Covid lockdowns & closed ports.

So the only pro for consumers might be better availability. Well, at least something.

No, Super Hung, err, I mean Huang will fly there with his signature leather jacket and save them. He's the Homelander of the tech world. Or maybe that's Eelon?

Taiwan is a fortress. Cannot be occupied without destroying it completely and I don't think China wants ruins.

I believe that's the sole reason Tawian still stands. Or at least the main one.

Mods, sorry for the off-topic.

USA sanctioned China, nVidia in not allowed anymore to sell high-end chips to Chinese companies. A lot of Infrastructure in China got obsolete, any nVidia business in China is in danger to be canceled due to new sanctions. Tensions can rise anytime.

If nothing else this speaks to the growing line that separates China from Taiwan.

Maybe they should have used the situation to move the center to a country not being in the direct sphere of influence of China... Singapore comes to my mind. Everything else outside of south-east Asia being even better. Looks like it's not only German companies not being willing to get a bit further away from China.

You mean try to. There is always something to the spirit of the Defender and it would seem that Democratic style Armies are way better at logistics, resupply and firepower than their one man Government alternatives.

I've lived for years in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Taiwan is the best. China has been going downhill for over a decade. Hong Kong is now a police state.

Good for them. The more we move out of China the better. Nobody (especially foreigners) wants to be in China anymore. At least when I first moved there in 2004 it was affordable. Not now, so there aren't even any financial benefits to live there.

Living the good life on $300 per month rent is long gone. Police state and high prices is all you get now.

When I moved to Taiwan and realized that I was free for the first time in years, it was a wonderful feeling. Just having the internet work properly was such a blessing!

Nobody's going to argue that China is moving backwards in terms of freedoms. I can see this as a reason for Nvidia to relocate from HK, which is effectively now part of China.

bhappyChina is a police state and basically a new version of the nazi's except they haven't started a world war yet.
This sort of "let's point out the new enemies" it's the real cancer of our society. All last 80 years problems are coming from that. Face it.

It's not a narrative. China openly states they are preparing for war and want to attack Taiwan. That's a fact, not a narrative. As for people saying you're crazy to make your business dependent on China, you might want to ask the 80 percent of foreigners that used to love China and live there, that have now left. Maybe don't invite people in and then mistreat them until they leave.

The Chinese government in 2022 is pretty crazy compared to what I dealt with 15 years ago. Feel sorry for everyone left in China. It's not going to a good place.
