United States Shifts Imports Toward Taiwan

U.S. trade data for late 2025 show Taiwan overtook China as America's direct supplier for the first time since 1992, driven by a surge in AI server and advanced systems purchases. U.S. Commerce figures (Feb. 19, 2026) show December 2025 imports from China fell about 44% year‑over‑year while Taiwan's imports reached $24.7 billion, and Taiwan's 2025 exports to the U.S. rose to $198.2 billion from $111.3 billion in 2024.
