TSMC faces heavy pressure from the US, possibly becoming 'US TSMC' and triggering an industry crisis

Given the current situation, TSMC may become "USMC."

The Taiwanese United Daily News today presented this trend vividly through a cartoon.

After Trump announced a 20% tariff on Taiwan, he further dropped a "nuclear bomb": a 100% tariff on semiconductors to hit TSMC, and claimed that it would invest 200 billion USD in the US (previously stated as 300 billion, then revised). However, TSMC has already committed to investing 16.5 billion USD in the US. Coupled with the recent incident of 2nm technology leakage, it is like adding insult to injury.

All of this reveals America's premeditated plan: to completely move TSMC to the US, making it become "USMC." If Taiwan loses its proud "Taiwan Mountain," it may fall into the pitiful situation of industrial hollowing out, which could become an irreversible reality.
