Chip Wars: Why Taiwan is the most important country in the world | Chris Miller

TSMC has an ecosystem that supports the chip-making business in Taiwan. There are many local companies assisting TSMC in Taiwan that you cannot find them in other countries. TSMC's CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) is high-density advanced packaging technology second to none in order to make the high density AI chip possible. It took many years of effort and it is not something can be copied easily by other countries.

Don't worry tsmc is expanding into Arizona, Germany and japan. This will alleviate the pressure on Taiwan.

Taiwan started making chips very early. And also they are very good quality!😌I am pound that I am Taiwanese😊

Taiwan's government is racist.

Uh oh you said ‘country’ that’s like a banned word here 🇹🇼 Taiwan numbah won

🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼

Actually , Tsmc and other related semiconductor companies are the one important to US governance not Taiwan, as USA adminstration force these companies to shift out from Taiwan, Taiwan loss its edge from time to time. Taiwan is the biggest losser of the us china conflict. To be honest Taiwan sovereignty is own by both mother land China and America.

一堆彎彎又要高潮了，台灣倒了台積也不一定會倒啦。

Trump MAGA plan will pay off. TSMC eventully will shift all its high end chipset foundary to America. Thumb up for trump administration and america people. By the way, TSMC is own by American not Taiwanese.

Ironically SMIC in China was also founded byTaiwanese. It's current CEO Mong-Song Liang is also a Taiwanese, a former engineer from TSMC.

For ppl wonder why Taiwan and Korean got to manufac chip but not US its because chip manufac needs a large amount of energy also come with high polution thats why US only design chips but not manufac it in the past

Your world is too small

Yes , the Great China ❤️ Taiwan forever .
Because , genetically speaking , China & Taiwan is absolutely one-blood one heart .

Tawain Numba Won!!!

如果台灣面臨世界各個國家的乎視以及不平等待遇不知道台灣人還可以堅持善良到什麼時候

我是台灣人但我對人類的內心絕望

you speak way too fast!!!

Independent Taiwan is a project, an aspiration. How Taiwan could be independent?

At the surrender of Japan, Taiwan was independent country material. Both Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Ze-dong knew it when the former signed the UN Charter for China.

Neither the Chinese Communist Party’s “Peoples Republic Of China” not the Chinese Nationalist Party’s “Republic of China” enjoy the sovereignty of Taiwan. The short of it, China has no legal claim to Taiwan.

The Chinese from both shores of the strait have been colluding to prevent the native population or the Japanese komins of Japanese Taiwan from enjoying their UN Charter-ordained right to self-determination.

The United States, the “principal occupying power” on Taiwan, never endorsed the Chinese claim of a Chinese Taiwan. But beyond that, the US yielded political ground to Chinese propaganda warfare.

Because of political cowardice on the part of the 49 San Francisco Peace Treaty signatory powers, the Chinese from both shores of the Taiwan Strait have been allowed to confuse the world public opinion into believing that Taiwan, somehow, belongs to China.

How could Taiwan be a country while the Chinese prevent Taiwan from enjoying its UN Charter-ordained right to self-determination and the West toes the Chinese line instead of enforcing the law of treaties and the UN Charter?

Any meaningful coalition arrayed in defense of Taiwan rests upon the 49 SFPT signatory powers, Japan included. That coalition should be named United Nations 2.0 ((UN 2.0). Japan and the US included, the 49 collectively remember that Japan did not cede Taiwan to any China. Time for the 49 to draw their collective red line.

I KNOW

China should help Hawaii country and Luchu Kingdom to stay away from American invasion and Japanese invasion. Support Hawaii Kingdom and Luchu Kingdom. ❤❤❤

They are not important and you guys propaganda for them.

Thanks Dr. Chris for the elaboration!
Also thanks Netherlands company-ASML for the machine for TSMC to produce chips.

所有的芯片都印上中華民國國旗或民進黨旗還是總統府照片，蔡英文、賴清德、或李登輝照片，中國買不買？

Thanks to let the world know the facts!

Get cheaper price and high quality than other countries so they don’t care anything about that

@yukee1127  Don't fraud, Don't invade! Return all the properties including national flag, national father, constitution ， authorities, regimes, sovereignty, diplomatic allies to 中華民國 （Republic of China)

Those communism Chinese pets always like to spread fake news as their government. Such a shameless country and citizens. The TSMC founded by Taiwanese and supported by the democratic Taiwan government, TSMC has no relation to that poor communism mainland china. Period.
Taiwan government and TSMC should engrave and mark TAIWAN on each chip to avoid those shameless communists stealing the chips and claiming they made it by their own as well.

Taiwan also tried to save the whole world from COVID19!! TAIWAN is the 1st country sent out emergency message to WHO and the global to warning but WHO + China lie to all countries and beat Taiwan!

You can't even tell if Taiwan is a country or not, and why you think you can analyze the chip wars

Taiwan is not a country and it doesnt need to be free from any country,Taiwan is always a part of China

Taiwan stands at the top of technology tree. Everything technology involved can't operate without Taiwan. Imaging Apple has to pay Samsung to make chips, and Samsung steal Apple's trade secret.

Full of craps presentation. Stop whining! The US has no one else to blame but itself for not able to nurture and foster IC manufacturing despite having Global foundaries (Motorola), AMD, Intel, Fairchild, Analog Device,TI,,etc. Morris Chang built foundary in Taiwan only after Japan and the US rejected him. US engineers are still not capable to made 7nano chips despite having the same equipments and materials as TSMC. So who is to blame for this predicament?

If the Arizona TSMC plants can manufacture enough microchips to satisfy demand, the political dynamics may change them in hard-to-predict ways.

Actually,nobody cares about Taiwan, They are not even willing to establish diplomatic relations with us！

Most important？ Liar！

Not Taiwan. It's the Republic of China (ROC)!

TSMC is the legacy of Chinese technocrats from the Kuomintang, Li Kwoh-ting and Sun Yun-suan, and has nothing to do with native Taiwanese!

Taiwan and China have been at odds for over a century, yet many people from other countries still believe the two sides are part of the same nation. Wrong! China is, and always will be, a communist regime attempting to influence the entire world. Taiwanese people understand this deeply.

In the United States, many still see this as merely a "Chinese issue." Losing Taiwan would mean the loss of freedom of navigation through the Taiwan Strait, with far-reaching consequences. In fact, Taiwan excels in many advanced industries, including aerospace technology. Losing Taiwan would signify a victory for communism.

Thats why Elon Musk previously suggested that Taiwanese manufacturers set up factories in other locations to avoid geopolitical tensions impacting the supply chain.

If you also want to increase your chip production yield
We sincerely recommend you
Use our unique oriental island mysterious power
Use a ritualistic green item to place on your host
This will greatly increase (at least you think it will be useful)

Everyone said China will take over Taiwan but all of Taiwanese said that is impossible. It will not happen after another 50 years in China old prediction.

Most people think Taiwan is only manufacturing Chips designed by other countries. In fact out of the top ten chip design companies, 4 are Taiwanese companies and one is owned by a Taiwanese dual citizen (Nvidia) and another one has a Taiwanese CEO (AMD).

The last part is important. “Exponential” is a term humans have difficulties understanding what it ACTUALLY means. Most think it’s like multiplication. They don’t realize that it’s doubling every time. Even the words don’t make sense when you read it like that.

Taiwan is precious, its a jewel, it can do so much for humankind unlike CCP Chinese.

I love Taiwan 🇹🇼!! Welcome to Taiwan the people all around the world. This is the most beautiful country in the world.

I love the title “the most important country”.
