    Taiwan appoints senior executive at TSMC supplier as new economy minister

    Taiwan's incoming premier announced on Tuesday he had appointed a senior executive from TSMC supplier Topco Scientific as economy minister, saying he would be tasked with resolving the persistent problem of stable power supplies. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co is the world's largest contract chipmaker and the chip industry is the backbone of Taiwan's export-dependent economy. Cho Jung-tai, who will not take over as premier until president-elect Lai Ching-te is inaugurated on May 20, told reporters the chairman of semiconductor material supplier Topco Group, J.W. Kuo, would be the economy minister, replacing Wang Mei-hua, a lawyer by training.
