Since President Donald Trump declared April 2 as “Liberation Day” and unveiled sweeping reciprocal tariffs, the US-China trade war has sharply intensified. Trump’s changing tariff policy on China has now been up to 145%. China’s State Council Tariff Commission responded in kind: beginning April 12, all US-origin goods entering China would face the same 125% tariff.

Benefiting from contributions from Japanese laboratories and the return of large orders from Chinese clients, Materials Analysis Technology (MA-Tek), a major player in the semiconductor testing industry, reported a revenue of NT$444 million (approx. US$ 13milion) in March, a 9.51% increase from February and a 2.83% rise compared to the same period in 2024.
