SEOUL, March 30 (Reuters) - South Korea's parliament on Thursday approved a bill that offers large tax breaks to strategic industries, including semiconductors, investing at home to strengthen its supply-chain security while boosting the economy.


The bill comes as other countries introduce steps to bolster domestic chip industries, including the United States which last month released details of the Chips Act, offering billions of dollars in subsidies for chipmakers that invest in the country.
