according to taiwan's china times news, taiwan's semiconductor company tsmc has started to set up factories in the united states in recent years, and there has been heated discussions about "becoming tsmc usa". the republican presidential candidate trump recently put forward the "taiwan protection fee theory", which also triggered discussions.
former legislator guo zhengliang mentioned on the "highlights confrontation" program on the 19th that the united states now certainly hopes that tsmc will quickly move its cutting-edge processes overseas. i personally think that if trump is elected, he will definitely put pressure on tsmc to move its 2nm and 1nm production to the united states. i don't know what conditions will be used at that time, but the pressure will be very, very great!
"at that time, some rumors will be spread, saying that taiwan's power supply is unstable... and so on." guo zhengliang emphasized that the united states has one last trick, which he has also said elsewhere: tsmc can change its registration in the united states and become a us company! this requires some financial operations.
"look at the current tsmc board of directors, americans and british people account for more than half, close to two-thirds!" guo zhengliang pointed out, so it is possible for him to make major decisions, but this requires a lot of financial operations. simply put, it means turning tsmc's assets in taiwan into the assets of an american company.
guo zhengliang bluntly said that even if a war breaks out between the two sides of the taiwan strait, the mainland cannot confiscate it because it has become an asset of an american company. "do you think this is possible? of course it is possible! look at who are the largest shareholders now? philips, citibank, middle east sovereign funds, i think... they are all happy to see this result!"
