UMC honorary chair donates NT$3 billion to help Taiwan improve its security

2022-08-05

United Microelectronics Corporation Honorary Chair Robert Tsao on Friday announced a personal donation of NT$3 billion to help strengthen Taiwan’s defense capabilities. Tsao says he hopes the money can be used to thwart Chinese attempts to promote unification in Taiwan and create systems to prevent cyberattacks, among other things. At a press conference on Friday, he also directed some choice words at China and pro-unification supporters in Taiwan.

Robert Tsao
UMC honorary chair
The Chinese Communist Party is so arrogant and intimidating to Taiwan. Perhaps it thinks that the people of Taiwan are greedy and afraid of death. They completely underestimate Taiwan. That’s why today I would like to announce a NT$3 billion donation, or about US$100 million, to help strengthen our national defense.

UMC Honorary Chair Robert Tsao on Friday announced a donation of NT$3 billion for Taiwan’s national defense. He said that China was just like a local ruffian.

Robert Tsao
UMC honorary chair
The CCP attitude and existence is like that of a village thug. The People’s Republic of China is a mafia posing like a country. I hope you all understand that what I’m doing today is not for fame or fortune. I don’t care about the elections. I simply hate the lies and violence coming from the CCP.

Tsao says he hopes the NT$3 billion will be used to promote combat readiness education for all of Taiwan and will lead to the release of publications and media to combat China’s cognitive warfare campaigns. The donation could also be used to thwart infiltrations that are part of the CCP’s campaign to annex Taiwan and for developing systems to identify and trace disinformation fabricated and dispersed in Taiwan by foreign enemy forces. The money can also be used to stop CCP cyberattacks on Taiwan. Tsao also had some words to say to pro-unification factions in Taiwan, saying that becoming one with China was like becoming one with a gang of mobsters.

Robert Tsao
UMC honorary chair
They say that us Taiwanese want to unify with China. But what would we be unifying with? We’d become one with a rogue. Do you want us to join this mafia? That’s a major blind spot in the market for people who support Taiwan’s unification with China. It’s not a question of unification, but a question on whether you want to join a gang.

The honorary chairman criticized pro-unification advocates. He also commented on the U.S.’ CHIPS Act, saying he believes it will deliver a blow to China.

Of course it will have an impact. But I think that Taiwan’s role in semiconductor production won’t change greatly for another five to 10 years.

Tsao said that for the time being, Taiwan would remain firmly in its place as a leading semiconductor powerhouse. Since leaving his role as company chair, Tsao has often commented on cross-strait affairs. Now, he’s donating NT$3 billion in hopes that Taiwan can better ward off China’s threat.

嗆中國地痞流氓! 曹興誠捐30億助台灣國防

2022-08-05

美國眾議院議長裴洛西旋風訪台後,中國就對台灣展開軍演,還做出一連串制裁台灣食品的作為,讓聯電榮譽董事長曹興誠看不下去,特地召開記者會,怒批中國的心態跟本質,根本是地痞流氓,更霸氣宣布將捐出新台幣30億元,拋磚引玉,協助加強台灣國防。

[[聯電榮譽董事長 曹興誠]]
“中共對台灣行徑如此囂張跋扈,或許以為台灣人都貪財怕死,所以不把台灣看在眼裡,所以今天我宣布將捐出30億新台幣,大約1億美元來協助加強國防。”

聯電榮譽董事長曹興誠,霸氣宣布捐出新台幣30億元,要協助加強台灣國防,更怒嗆中國,根本就是地痞流氓。

[[聯電榮譽董事長 曹興誠]]
“中共的心態和本質就是地痞流氓,中華人民共和國是一個仿冒成國家形式的黑社會組織。今天我做這事情大家也都了解,我不為名也不為利,對政治選舉也沒興趣,單純地只是厭惡中共的謊言暴力。”

曹興誠說,希望這30億元,用在推動全民國防教育、出版反制中共對台認知作戰專書及影音創作、辦理揭露中共統戰滲透活動,開發辨識或追蹤溯源反制境外敵對勢力對台散布爭議訊息,以及反制中共對台網攻等活動,更向台灣統派喊話,跟中國統一,就是跟流氓統一。

[[聯電榮譽董事長 曹興誠]]
“我們台灣人說要跟它(中國)統一,你跟誰統一呢?你跟流氓去統一,你跟黑社會去統一嗎?所以這是台灣統派很大的市場盲點,現在不是說要什麼統一,是你要不要做流氓?”

火力全開砲轟統派,而針對美國晶片法案,曹興誠認為,確實會對中國產生衝擊。

[[聯電榮譽董事長 曹興誠]]
“影響當然一定會有啦,不過我認為對台灣的半導體地位,應該5到10年之間不會有太大的變化。”

樂看台灣半導體地位,曹興誠卸下聯電董座職位後,頻頻對兩岸問題,表達鮮明立場,這回更豪捐30億元,希望全民齊心,抵抗中國勢力。
