Recently, it has been reported in the United States that some lawmakers have once again threatened to "let Chinese mainland clearly know that if we want to 'invade' Taiwan, we will blow up TSMC." One stone stirred up a thousand waves, so "friendly to Taiwan" that the Taiwanese people "exploded". Some netizens commented, "Do you need enemies if you have such 'friends'?" ”
Why is "blowing up TSMC" repeatedly mentioned?
As we all know, TSMC Group, headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan, as the world's largest semiconductor manufacturing plant, can mass-produce logic ICs (an integrated circuit that computing and processing digital signals) with the world's most advanced process.
At the end of last year, the United States, which is intending to pocket global semiconductor manufacturing, welcomed more than 1,000 TSMC engineers from Taiwan chartered from Taiwan in Phoenix, Arizona, who will work for the trial production and commissioning of the first local TSMC 5nm chip factory. It is revealed that TSMC will also set up a 3-nanometer chip factory in the United States with the most advanced semiconductor process.
"To be honest, the Americans have already deceived TSMC, engineers, and advanced processes to Arizona, USA, and in the future, the voice of the old United States wanting to 'blow up TSMC' will only be more, not less." Jiang Degang, a veteran media person in Taiwan, pointed out in a letter to the media.
As said, US Democratic Congressman Morton recently proposed "blowing up TSMC" at a think tank seminar, which is not the first time that the US side has made such remarks. According to Taiwan media reports, if the two sides of the strait go to war, the idea of blowing up TSMC first appeared in November 2021, American strategists McKinney and Harris, published an article in the journal of the US Army War College; In March this year, former US National Security Advisor O'Brien also said at a forum in Dubai that "if there is a war in the Taiwan Strait, in order to avoid TSMC falling into the hands of China, the United States will choose to blow up the TSMC factory"; Then came May 3, when Morton said so.
Taiwan's senior commentator Xie Hanbing wrote an article on the 10th pointing out that the purpose of proposing to blow up TSMC is not to deter the PLA at all, but to fear that TSMC's technology will be mastered by Chinese mainland, which is why the United States has actively asked TSMC to set up factories in the United States in recent years to produce advanced chips, as long as TSMC's technology is controlled by the United States, Taiwan will be "cut, can be abandoned" for the United States, and then it will be forced to send TSMC's key talents to the United States first, and then TSMC's production equipment can be blown up to avoid Chinese mainland acquiring advanced technology capabilities. "All this is for the interests of the United States, and has nothing to do with defending Taiwan."
When the majority is no longer silent, the Taiwan authorities ...
"Otherwise, do you think that the big brother of the United States really cares about Taiwan?" "Are the Taiwanese sure they want to spend money to curry favor with these idiot politicians?" In the past few days, Taiwanese people have left messages on social media to condemn Morton's crazy remarks.
"TSMC, which we regard as protecting the sacred mountain, is just a tool that can be discarded and sacrificed at any time in the eyes of old American politicians." There is no need to ask the Taiwan authorities and people whether they agree! ”
"For Lao Mei, Taiwanese life and property are like ants."
According to Taiwan media reports, Morton visited Taiwan in October last year, and in April this year he also followed McCarthy to meet with Tsai Ing-wen, who was "transiting" Los Angeles, and is a "friendly Taiwan" friend in the mouth of the Taiwan authorities. Former U.S. National Security Adviser O'Brien also received a medal from Tsai Ing-wen in Taiwan.
Such a "friendly Taiwan" has aroused the indignation of the people and public opinion on the island. Tsai Ing-wen and the foreign affairs department of the Taiwan authorities pretended to be deaf and silent...
"The United States also has this garbage (garbage), and the 'dish' English rolled out to protest." People shouted angrily in the message. Some people also condemned, "These politicians came to Taiwan, in the name of Taiwan's friendship, but in fact they really came to promote their business interests." ”
On the 10th, when Wu Zhaoxie, head of Taiwan's foreign relations department, was asked by the media about this, he said several times: "I just answered!" ", not willing to elaborate further. In this regard, the public questioned, "It will only choke the reporter, why not protest to the United States?" ”
According to Taiwan media reports, only Qiu Guo, head of the island's defense department, said when questioned by the media, which one talks about bombing this and that, how can the Taiwan military tolerate this situation?
For such a confused and unresolute statement, the people left a message commenting, "Who in Taiwan does not know that what the United States wants to do is tacitly approved by the DPP" and "Even those who hide from military service can't help, what else can the United States do?" "Solve the problem of the troops first, it will only chatter" "The mouth is very powerful, and the actual running is the fastest!"
