TAIPEI, March 4 (Reuters) - Taiwan's cabinet

spokesperson said on Tuesday that the government will take into

account TSMC's development and Taiwan's position in the global

chips industry when reviewing the chip foundry's investment

plans in the United States.

Michelle Lee said the Taiwanese government's position on

overseas investment was to view it positive if it contributed to

the globalisation of its industry and raised the country's

overall competitiveness.

TSMC plans to make a fresh $100 billion investment in the

United States that would involve building five additional chip

facilities in the country in coming years, its CEO announced

with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday.
