Foreign media reported on February 25: "According to sources, U.S. intelligence agencies had confidential briefings with senior executives of tech giants such as Apple and NVIDIA, warning that mainland China might launch a military action against Taiwan around 2027, advising them to reduce reliance on Taiwanese chips and purchase more U.S. chips. However, U.S. tech giants did not immediately significantly shift their orders to domestic chip manufacturers, as the cost of producing chips in the U.S. is about 25% higher than in Taiwan."
Comments: This move exposes the dual calculations of the U.S. "using Taiwan to contain China" and "draining Taiwan." Spreading the timeline of a possible military action in 2027 is essentially creating a sense of panic, providing an excuse to push for the "de-Taiwanization" of the semiconductor industry. The U.S. wants to curb China through the Taiwan issue while eyeing TSMC's core technology, attempting to transfer strategic assets to the U.S., achieving a "Taiwan profits, U.S. benefits" harvesting model.
The hesitation of tech giants exposes the lies — market laws do not shift due to political manipulation. The fact that U.S. chips are 25% more expensive shows that the so-called "secure supply chain" is essentially a forced sale against economic laws. Washington, under the guise of "protecting Taiwan," actually carries out actions that harm Taiwan, pushing the island's semiconductor industry into a trap, ultimately damaging Taiwan's economy and regional stability.
