An earthquake occurred in Hualien County, Taiwan, a few days ago, and the disaster was serious, and people's lives and property were severely damaged. Although the search and rescue work has not been suspended, the earthquake rescue has entered the reconstruction phase.
The losses are enormous, not only in terms of casualties, but also in the homes of the victims. According to the post-disaster management center, 1,353 buildings have been damaged, and some of them have been demolished and removed. The earthquake in Taiwan has had an impact on the local living industry, among which TSMC's monthly production capacity has reached 10 million, accounting for 30% of the global semiconductor market, and is considered to be the vane of the global semiconductor industry.
TSMC is recently in the iPhone 15 A17 Pro production test release stage, but the earthquake in Taipei on the morning of the 4th caused the 7nm factory in the south of TSMC to be deformed. The damaged equipment accounts for about 1% of the total plant equipment, and it is estimated that the equipment restoration work will take three months. TSMC proposed that the current semiconductor output value is losing $10 million per day, and if the equipment maintenance period is too long, it will impact the global semiconductor supply chain.
The donation of mainland factories to Taiwan is the focus of public opinion, among which Chen Guangbiao, the first charity, personally donated NT$10 million.
1. Who is donating.
After the Hualien earthquake, it became a hot spot in the world, not only the local people in Taiwan actively donated, but also the Chinese people all over the world expressed their concern and assistance to the Taiwan compatriots. The news that Chinese compatriots in Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, Singapore and other places have donated money for disaster relief has also aroused the attention of mainland society.
But what puzzles everyone is that as a Chinese living in the same land, especially on the neighboring mainland, only one Shoushan Chen Guangbiao contributed 10 million yuan in donations, while there are 20 or 30 enterprises in Taiwan, plus some artists and government workers combined, there are almost 1 billion yuan in donations, and even far more than this number.
In addition, with regard to the corporate behavior of donating to mainland factories, Taiwan's media, including some official personnel, have been fighting the idea of Taiwan independence, unceremoniously treating the mainland as an enemy, and for a long time, the mainland can tolerate it, and does not care about the remarks of Taiwan independence people, so many domestic netizens will question, since the Taiwanese have made such remarks, why do mainland enterprises still donate money to help?
Second, why does the mainland factory help?
Regarding the questions of the above-mentioned netizens, some netizens explained from the perspective of humanitarianism and the overall situation, believing that many Taiwanese enterprises have been exploited by the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party, so even after Tsai Ing-wen, a Taiwan independence element, took power, many enterprises chose to choose to keep their mouths shut, but after the incident, they saw that some local enterprises and businesses were actively helping local farmers and people, so they chose to follow the past to help the local people, while mainland enterprises have been pursuing national development and national righteousness in the face of the difficulties and dangers of Chinese people at home and abroad.
After all, the compatriots on both sides of the strait are Chinese, and under the general interests of the country and the nation, it is appropriate to support the difficult areas, and we should not give up helping the disaster areas because of the attitude of the islanders towards the mainland, but the general social environment makes people feel cold that although the compatriots on both sides of the strait are Chinese, is it because the population on both sides of the strait is distributed under the two regimes that it represents two Chinas?
3. The two sides of the strait are of the same ancestry, and the whole country is a brother.
Although the two sides of the strait have different regimes, they do not deny that they are all part of China, including the donations raised by some enterprises in Taiwan are actually their profits for several years; so we should not be too harsh on Taiwan enterprises, but what public opinion says is not wrong at all; since the compatriots on both sides of the strait are Chinese, why can the mainland stand up to the banner of China and come out to help Taiwan?
Taiwan is a part of China, and the mainland is helping a part of China, but why are many people still reassured by the mainland's moves, and the words are "temporary cramming".
