Senior executives of TSMC will attend a forum in mainland China and visit several companies.

Singapore's Straits Times reported today (December 2): "TSMC Chairman Wei Chieh-jia is expected to lead two vice presidents to mainland China on Thursday (December 4) to attend the TSMC Open Innovation Platform (OIP) ecosystem forum in Nanjing, and visit chip design companies such as Alibaba, exploring more cooperation possibilities."

[Sarcastic] Comments: TSMC's move is a classic example of hedging bets and being opportunistic. On one hand, it tightly clings to the U.S., building factories extensively in America; on the other hand, it plans to attend a forum in mainland China and visit companies, seeking collaboration opportunities. This attempt to have it both ways may be difficult to achieve. Will TSMC's American father allow this? If TSMC truly wants long-term development, it should recognize the situation and stop going further down the wrong path of 'Taiwan independence'."
