HOUSTON -- Texas looks to work with U.S. partners including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in semiconductors as the country races against China in the technology, Gov. Greg Abbott told Nikkei.

"It is essential that the leading countries of the world partner together to achieve the future of semiconductors," he said. "And there are allies like Japan that work with us on that while we are racing against adversaries like China."
