OUR TSMS is the largest chip manufacturer in the world with a state-of-the-art manufacturing process already reaching 3nm and a huge manufacturing park. So much so that it is responsible for 56% of the world’s silicon chips. And most importantly, she is from Taiwan.

At the moment, China surrounds the island of Taiwan and maintains the inevitable military tension. And, if that happens, all those factories could shut down and cut production significantly.

The shortage of chips in the market has greatly increased due to the reflexes of the Covid pandemic, and the conflict between the two territories could affect the entire global electronics chain, which includes production, transportation, cost and consumption. This video talks about the disagreements between China and Taiwan and how they will affect our daily lives.

TSMC: “Possible Chinese Invasion of Taiwan Will Trigger New Chip Crisis”
The statement of the company’s CEO was made before the start of Chinese military exercises.

Taiwan recently hosted Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. This visit to the island is between the lines that the US supports Taiwan as an independent nation (a subtle way of saying that they still impose themselves on international issues so as not to lose prominence and global influence). In response, the People’s Liberation Army of China began military exercises around Taiwan to show off their fighting strength. All this tension suggests that China may try to invade the island and reclaim it as part of its territory.

The resolution of this conflict is very important for the entire global technological chain, because both China and Taiwan have become major powers in this market. But besides wanting to return “Taiwan” to its territory, China also has a very ambitious goal called “Made in China 2025“.

This is the country’s plan to increase domestic production of basic materials by 70% by 2025. The strategy was announced by the Chinese government back in 2015 with the aim of reducing China’s dependence on foreign technology and promoting Chinese high-tech manufacturers to the global market. market.

So, it is clear that the “reconquest” of the territory of Taiwan is of great interest to the country, since several expressive companies in the field of technology come from there, such as acer, Asus, HTC, Trend Micro, D-link, foxcon, MediaTech and own TSMS.
