According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen yesterday refuted the claim that semiconductor manufacturing is a risky convergence in Taiwan, promising to maintain the advantages and energy of cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing and assist the world in making the best configuration in supply chain restructuring. The US CBS TV station "60 Minutes" broadcast the content of the exclusive interview with TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou . Zhang Zhongmou pointed out that "If a war occurs, TSMC will be destroyed and everything will not escape being destroyed."

In order to consolidate technological hegemony, the United States has not only launched the "Chip Act", but has won over Taiwan, South Korea and Japan to form a chip four-party alliance (CHIP4), and actively promoted TSMC to set up factories in the United States. Some countries have questioned the concentration of semiconductor products in Taiwan, and increased the risks of supply chains under cross-strait tensions.
In this regard, Tsai Ing-wen said that Taiwan is the key to the global semiconductor layout, and the Taiwan authorities will continue to maintain Taiwan's advantages and energy in the cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing, making the global status of "protecting the Taiwan Sacred Mountain" more important.
Yang Zhongmou said in an exclusive interview with CBS that perhaps TSMC supplies a lot of chips to the world, and perhaps someone will restrain himself and not use force.
Zhang Zhongmou also said, "If a war occurs, TSMC will be destroyed and everything will not escape being destroyed."
Yin Naiping, a professor at the Department of Finance at the Political University of Taiwan, believes that TSMC will last for at most 3 or 5 years, and other countries and regions will also mass-produce chips in the future. The importance of TSMC will be greatly weakened. What the DPP authorities should think about is how to support the next key industry so that Taiwan can continue to maintain an important position in the industrial chain and support the economy.
In addition, regarding Tsai Ing-wen's economic statement, Lin Bofeng, chairman of Taiwan's "Three Three Enterprise Exchange Conference", expressed "respect", but believed that Taiwan's trade surplus with mainland China is about 100 billion US dollars a year. The mainland is an important partner of Taiwan. The cross-strait exchanges should resume, especially the Strait Fund and the Association for Foreign Affairs should resume interaction and normalize business-civilian exchanges. He believes that the DPP authorities should not be too "pro-US and hate China", and hope that after the "border" is lifted, the "small three connections" and routes can also return to normalization.
Chief Chairman Lai Zhengyi said that Tsai Ing-wen was not kind enough. After the "border" was lifted, no restrictions on quarantine were lifted on mainland people and the recovery of "small three links" have not been mentioned. Chairman of the Shang Dynasty, Xu Shubo, said that the resumption of exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits can be achieved by the business community as the "advance force" to create a good negotiation environment.
