Taiwan has great semiconductor technology. However, in the memory market, Taiwan lacks the economic scale to compete effectively against Samsung, SK Hynix (South Korean), and Micron (US).
DDR4 DRAM technology is the latest RAM technology.
DDR4 SDRAM | Micron
"DDR4 is the best mainstream generation of DRAM technology, with new features centered on power savings, performance enhancement, manufacturability, and reliability improvements. These new features improve performance, power, manufacturability, reliability and stacking capabilities for the enterprise, cloud, ultrathin, tablet, automotive and embedded markets. With data rates up to 3200 MT/s, an operating voltage of 1.2v and additional power saving features; DDR4 increases performance up to 50% while delivering total energy savings as high as 25% compared to DDR3."
We know the Chinese government is keen on developing its own indigenous computer memory-chip manufacturers. Taiwan's Nanya would be a perfect partner for the Chinese government-backed Tsinghua Unigroup. A potential 51/49 joint-venture would see Taiwan's Nanya (the minority partner) supply its 20nm 8GB DDR4 DRAM technology to benefit from China's massive domestic market. That is how Taiwan's Nanya can achieve comparable economic scale to compete with Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron.
Nanya Technology chief: Chinese chip rivals no threat -- yet | Nikkei Asian Review (August 10, 2017)
"Aug 4, 2017 - Nanya Tech is the world's fourth biggest producer of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips by revenue, trailing Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix of South Korea, and U.S. group Micron."
The Chinese government gains quick access to advanced 20nm DDR4 DRAM technology. Taiwan's Nanya rides on the back of China's enormous market to become a world-class competitor in memory chip sales. This is a fair deal for both China and Taiwan's Nanya.

Taiwan's Nanya Completes First Self-Developed 20nm 8GB DDR4 DRAM | CTIMES (December 18, 2017)
"After spending nearly a year on R&D, Nanya Technology Corporation have completed their first 8GB 4 DRAM product, and having obtained major PC manufacturing certification, they will begin shipments this month. Currently, this makes them, along with Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron, one of the few companies with the capacity to manufacture DDR4 DRAM using a 20nm process.
Nanya stated that through the use of stacked packaging technology, the 8GB DDR 4 DRAM memory modules can be increased to capacities of 16GB and 32GB in order to satisfy the requirements of personal computer and server markets. Hence this is a major breakthrough in the development of Taiwanese DRAM."

, TW as the chip powerhouse, HK as the Financial Center in Asia. Many Taiwanese business are located in Mainland 
. India has nothing
, while others talk about Independence, Taiwanese are not Chinese. TRUTH is Taiwanese made contributions to China's rise as well and this shall continue. Only complete fools and idiots believe that nonsense. China is not only a tech powerhouse it has assistance from this gigantic chip powerhouse. Together we will emerge HUGE in the future. South Korea is feeling the heat from the Dragon's breath.
