It was a pleasure to join #SEMICON Taiwan 2024 and witness Taiwan's remarkable achievements in the semiconductor industry. As a receptionist at the opening ceremony, I am fortunate to welcome key officials from Executive Yuan, as well as foreign representatives.
"Among the 'Five Trusted Industry Sectors' proposed by President Lai, semiconductors and AI are the most crucial," stated Premier Cho Jung-Tai. "The government has allocated sufficient funds to ensure that Taiwan fulfills its responsibilities in the global supply chain."
💡𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 from #geopolitics and #internationalrelations:
🇹🇼Taiwan: Despite rising geopolitical tensions with China, Taiwan's semiconductors continue to play an irreplaceable role globally, with over 90% of the world's advanced chips produced by TSMC. Government and industry collaborations, such as establishing the Semi Silicon Photonics Industry Alliance, ensure Taiwan maintains its leading position. Although concerns have been raised that TSMC's factory expansions in the US might lead to a technology outflow and further destabilize the Taiwan Strait, the core chip technology remains firmly rooted in Taiwan. Therefore, I believe there is little cause for significant concern at this point.
🇨🇳China: As a communist nation with a planned economy, China has doubled its share of global chip production over the past decade, and its future growth could be substantial. It is also anticipated that China may be ready to take action by 2027, potentially enforcing a blockade in the Taiwan Straits, posing a threat to Taiwan's semiconductor industry and democracy, as well as the global economy. Long-term strategies are needed for democratic countries to guard against this potential future and ensure sustainable solutions.
🇱🇷US: To de-risk the potential threat from China, the US is investing billions to shift the supply chain, offering subsidies to encourage TSMC and other chip makers to expand production outside of Taiwan. However, significant time and effort are required, and until then, Taiwan remains a choke point in the high-tech industry. Excluding China from the global economy could also be risky, as it may foster greater self-reliance and empower the country to better withstand the impact of economic sanctions. Additionally, the outcome of the upcoming US presidential election could bring further policy changes.
