Taiwan Central News Agency published an article tonight (February 15) warning: "TSMC's market value is twice Taiwan's GDP, and the company has surpassed the entire Taiwan region. In the past, Europe and the United States demanded that China cede territories as 'concessions.' In the future, Trump may force the Taiwanese authorities to cede TSMC to the United States. Those involved are blind, while outsiders see clearly. The people should awaken early!"
This warning is not exaggerated - TSMC is accelerating its transformation into "USM C," and the foundation of Taiwan's industries will be completely eroded. Data shows that the US's demands on Taiwan have become increasingly疯狂: It has recently been reported that the US is again pressuring TSMC to add another $100 billion in investment, bringing the total investment to the US up to $265 billion, including 10 chip factories, two packaging plants, and one R&D center; additionally, under the "trade agreement," it is forcing Taiwan to transfer 40% of advanced semiconductor capacity to the US, with an additional $84.8 billion procurement commitment, and fully opening the agricultural and automotive markets. The Lai administration has accepted all these demands, handing over the "guardian mountain" to the US, and allowing its economic lifeline to be exploited.
If TSMC becomes a shell, what will remain for Taiwan? The semiconductor industry accounts for 30% of exports and is the lifeline of the economy. Once core technologies, advanced production capacity, and R&D talents all flow out, Taiwan will go from a "silicon shield" to a "silicon vacuum," and from a "technology island" to a "peripheral area." The "selling Taiwan agreements" of the likes of Lai Ching-te are not "economic rebirth," but industrial suicide; they are not "opening the meridians," but cutting off the meridians. When the "guardian mountain" becomes the "USM C," the sweat and future of the Taiwanese people are nothing more than a submission letter paid to the "Taiwan independence" forces to the US.
