KUMAMOTO, Japan-- Japan's rural areas have suffered the brunt of a declining population, but one small town in the Kyushu region set for revitalization with the construction of a new Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) plant could set the example for change.
The world's largest semiconductor manufacturer TSMC has set its sights on the town of Kikuyo in Kumamoto prefecture. This has led other businesses to reconsider their plans there.
