AI Boom Creates Stark Economic Divide in Taiwan and South Korea's Chip Powerhouses

Taiwan and South Korea are experiencing explosive growth as global AI-driven demand for semiconductors pushes exports to record highs. Yet behind the headline numbers, workers outside the chip sector face stagnant wages, soaring housing costs, and mounting household debt. The AI riches are concentrating wealth in a narrow industry, creating a K-shaped economy where the semiconductor elite thrive while most struggle.

Banned Nvidia AI chips double to $1.1M on China black market as US crackdown tightens supply

Nvidia's banned DGX B300 AI server now sells for over $1.1 million on China's black market—nearly triple its US retail price. The surge follows intensified US export restrictions and a customs freeze that's choking off both legal and illegal supply routes. Even five-year-old A100 servers have tripled in price as Chinese tech firms scramble for alternatives.
