According to Taiwan media reports, in response to the US Department of Commerce's request that TSMC submit "commercial core confidential data" involving chip process nodes, customer situation, inventory, orders and actual shipment volume, production capacity and yield, TSMC, which previously claimed that "will not disclose customer confidential information", stated on the 22nd that it will submit the relevant information to the United States before the November 8 deadline.
US Secretary of Commerce Raymond even said, "If we are unwilling to submit data, we have other ways. I hope we don't go that way." This is simply a threat and threat to these companies.

TSI has repeatedly emphasized that customer trust is one of the factors of TSMC's success, and TSMC will never disclose sensitive information such as customer data. However, TSMC did not end up unable to withstand the pressure from the United States and chose to "surrender" to the United States and provide "trade confidential information" on time.
In the semiconductor chip industry field, TSMC's production capacity accounts for more than 50% of the global market share. This shows that TSMC has a dominant advantage and leading position in the chip industry, and its importance in the industry is self-evident to the world and Taiwan. The core confidential data of an enterprise is undoubtedly the life of an enterprise, and providing these trade secrets is equivalent to suicide. The United States uses administrative means to forcefully intervene in enterprises, and TSMC's future development path has become confusing. Perhaps this is the turning point of TSMC's decline from prosperity.
TSMC cannot hold on to the pressure of the United States. It does not dare to fight the United States like Huawei , nor does it bow to the United States, because they know that there is a strong motherland behind it. However, the DPP authorities are powerless to support TSMC.

TaipeiSilicon has always been called "the mountain of protection of the Taiwan Strait" by the DPP authorities. However, the DPP authorities quickly became softer when asked by the United States to provide commercial confidential information about Taiwan. They did not have the courage and ability to object to the United States, nor could they protect this "the mountain of protection of the Taiwan Strait". Instead, they spoke and endorsed the United States. Wang Meihua, head of the economic department of the DPP authorities, declared that this matter is "voluntary" and the United States is not targeting TSMC, and all manufacturers must provide relevant information. It can be seen that Wang Meihua and Raymondo are wearing a pair of pants, which is incredible.
also requires South Korean Samsung companies to provide "confidential information". South Korean Ambassador to the United States Lee Soo Hyuk made a clear reply on this matter. South Korean companies will not easily provide highly confidential information, vigorously support Samsung companies, demonstrating the South Korean government's determination to protect its important companies. However, the DPP authorities have let TSMC fight alone and fend for themselves, let alone support enterprises to protect their rights.
The US hegemony has reached many industries around the world. In order to strengthen control over the global semiconductor industry chain, it has extended its hands to this field. Such domineering chip leaders such as Samsung and TSMC hand over commercial secrets is just the first step for the United States to control this field. In order to completely control this field and highlight the United States first, it will have a more severe move next. This United States, which boasts "democracy" everywhere, completely tear off its disguise, throws it aside under the banner of so-called "democracy" and takes the fruits of others. This is a bad and despicable practice used by the United States.
If the United States controls the global semiconductor industry, and based on the interests of the United States, it will implement " long-arm jurisdiction " on various manufacturers and important customers, so that the United States will have absolute information-controlling rights, bargaining power and overseas market advantages in the semiconductor chip industry, then the struggle in the chip field will be more fierce and cruel. The United States will take more sanctions and suppression of mainland Chinese companies, which will have a greater impact on mainland Chinese companies. Mainland China must prevent this in advance and make solutions to this.
The United States is talking about chips and value TSMC so much, because TSMC's chips are ahead of the world, which is also what the United States wants most and is crucial to the United States. Therefore, the United States must take action against TSMC and use it to control TSMC for the United States to become the "pavement stone" for the United States to lead this industry.The United States does not really pay attention to Taiwan's security. Its purpose is to sell more weapons to Taiwan.
After the United States controls TSMC, relevant American companies will step on TSMC's shoulders and make the United States "dominate" the world's semiconductor industry. What are the advantages of TSMC at that time? We can only lose from this industrial chain and never recover.
DPP authorities believe that TSMC submits "confidential data" to the United States, which is a great opportunity to send sincerity to the United States, and it also happens to take TSMC out of its business in the mainland. In this way, the DPP authorities will be able to rely more on the United States politically and economically, and only the United States will follow its leadership. When the United States has completely controlled TSMC, what else can Taiwan have without TSMC's advantages? How much value does Taiwan have to use to the United States?
When Taiwan loses the "Sanctuary of Taiwan", Taiwan's use value will be greatly reduced to the United States. What can the DPP authorities use to beg for the United States to "protect"? Apart from buying a bunch of outdated weapons from the United States, it is difficult to attract the United States' appetite.
TSMC has no choice but to "surrender" today to warn Taiwan that the United States prioritizes its own interests and hand over all good things to the United States. Even if Taiwan's family is hollowed out, it cannot satisfy the greedy desires of the United States. The DPP authorities are unreliable to rely on greedy United States to "protection". The so-called "solid as rock" between the US and Taiwan is also false. This is just a political slogan of American politicians. When Taiwan has no value, the United States kicks away, and the "abandonment of Taiwan" will become a reality. (The pictures in the article are from the Internet)
