TOKYO — Japan ese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visited a new semiconductor plant for which his government has pledged more than 1 trillion yen of support to secure a steady supply of chips on Saturday.

Four decades ago, Japan dominated in chips, with Toshiba and NEC controlling half the world’s production. That’s declined to under 10%, amid competition from South Korean, U.S. and European manufacturers, as well as TSMC.

The plant is a bright spot for Kishida, whose popularity has plummeted amid a corruption scandal in his ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
