It is rumored that Pelosi will meet with the chairman of TSMC to discuss the US "Chip and Science Act"

The Washington Post reported on August 2 that Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, will meet with TSMC Chairman Liu Deyin to discuss the chip bill just passed by the United States.

Earlier, Liu Deyin accepted an exclusive interview with CNN, reflecting that TSMC has repeatedly been brought to the forefront of geopolitical issues, which has verified the realization of TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou's prediction. As a leader in foundry manufacturing, Zhang Zhongmou predicted that TSMC would become a geopolitical battleground before his retirement.

Industry insiders said that when TSMC's competitors expanded production in the United States, they directly pointed out that American chip manufacturing was overly reliant on TSMC, but the unsafe situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will affect the economic security of the United States. This is why Liu Deyin mentioned in a recent interview with CNN that he hopes that in the future, Taiwan will not be discriminated against because of its proximity to mainland China. Regardless of the future relationship between China and the United States, Taiwan should be treated separately.

The recent public opinion in the United States that cross-strait relations may have an impact on the United States, which relies on Taiwan's chip manufacturing, Liu Deyin reiterated a similar argument, saying that no one wants a war to happen, and he hopes it won't happen.

Institutional data shows that in 2021, semiconductors will be a mature industry with global design and manufacturing division. In Asia, Taiwan will account for 22% of semiconductor manufacturing, followed by South Korea with 21%, Japan and mainland China with about 15% each, and the United States with 12%. , which is the effect of globalization.

In the middle of the night of August 2, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng was ordered to urgently summon Burns, the US ambassador to China, to lodge stern representations and strong protests to the US on behalf of the Chinese government over US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.
