TOKYO/SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics continues to source high-tech materials from Japan, even as Japanese and South Korean businesses fret over tighter export controls.
Samsung -- a world leader in the development of state-of-the-art semiconductors -- is dependent on Japanese-made materials, and Japanese companies have no good reason to drop their valued customer. That said, uncertainties remain over the future of the so-called Japan-South Korea semiconductor coalition, as political conflicts highlight Samsung's dependency on Japan.
