- The claim does not define 'most advanced chips'; sources typically operationalise this as logic semiconductors below the 10nm process node. Under this definition, Taiwan's share is approximately 92%.
- Taiwan's dominance is concentrated in a single company, TSMC, which operates fabs both in Taiwan and — increasingly — overseas (Arizona, Japan). The overwhelming majority of advanced production capacity remains on the island.
- The figure refers specifically to logic (processor) chips and does not encompass all semiconductor categories (e.g. memory chips, where South Korea dominates).
