U.S. news outlet CNN was recently welcomed into TSMC, after trying to get access for two years. Reporter Will Ripley got up close with the company’s high-end technology, and took a stroll through the newcomer training center. During an interview, a top executive shared the company’s “secret weapon” for success.

Nearly all the world’s most advanced chips are made in one place, the small island-democracy of Taiwan.
U.S. news outlet CNN visited a TSMC facility in Taichung. With a market cap of US$671 billion, TSMC has been named one of the most important companies in the world, the reporter said. During an interview, TSMC Chair Mark Liu said the company’s “secret weapon” was Taiwan’s talent.
Mark Liu
TSMC chair
With a lot of people invest a lot of time in their education. Looking from outside it appears to be a miracle. Every place have to take advantage of their strengths. Not to just copy other people’s strengths when it was your weakness.

CNN Taiwan correspondent
So you believe that it will strengthen TSMC and Taiwan to build these fabs.
Lora Ho
TSMC senior vice president
We can prove to the world we can run this highly sophisticated manufacturing everywhere.
CNN also covered TSMC’s global expansion. It noted the company’s labor challenges in the U.S. and Germany, and said that TSMC had just opened a plant in Kumamoto, Japan. It said TSMC was on the verge of producing a 1.4 nanometer chip.

Microchips are the oil of the 21st century. And if Taiwan is attacked, the whole world could grind to a halt, plunging in to a global great depression.
Another report focused on TSMC founder Morris Chang, saying he transformed Taiwan’s history. The report described TSMC as a “silicon shield” for Taiwan, pointing out that 90% of the world’s advanced chips are made on the island.
Joseph Wu
Foreign minister
TSMC is going to be a deterrence against the idea of aggression against Taiwan.
TSMC has garnered attention around the world, highlighting the key position of Taiwan’s semiconductors in global geopolitics.

前進台積中科廠!CNN大篇幅報導 世界先進晶片來自台灣
2024-03-11
美國媒體CNN日前到台積電中科廠區，訪問台積電董事長劉德音和員工，談到護國神山的秘密武器，就是我國的人才，報導中強調，世界上幾乎所有最先進的晶片，都來自台灣這個民主小島。另一個專題節目中也談到，台灣面臨中國威脅，一旦被入侵，對於全球晶片供應和經濟的影響有多大。

“幾乎全世界最先進的晶片都在一個地方生產，台灣，這個民主小島”
美國有線電視新聞網CNN特別進入台積電中科廠區，強調這是家市值高達6710億美元的企業，還有人說它是全世界最重要的公司。董事長劉德音訪談中透露，護國神山的秘密武器，就是台灣的人才。

“(台灣社會中)許多人投資大量時間在他們的教育上，從外界看來，台積電似乎是個奇蹟，每個地區都要好好利用自己的強項，當它是你的缺點時，不能只靠複製別人的長處”

“你相信建這些晶圓廠，可以強化台積電和台灣實力嗎”
[[台積電人資資深副總 何麗梅]]
“我們可以向世界證明，我們可以在任何一個地方，讓這種高度複雜的製造業運轉”
先前美國廠面臨工作文化不同，進度延後2年，專家也擔心德國工會強勢，不易管理，只有剛開幕的日本廠文化與台灣較相近，CNN也點出，台灣已投入最新1.4奈米製程研究。

“晶片對21世紀來說就像石油般重要，如果台灣受到攻擊，全世界逐漸陷入停頓，突然陷入全球經濟大恐慌”
另一個專題節目中，則是大篇幅介紹台積電創辦人張忠謀，是改寫台灣歷史的人物，更提到許多人以"矽盾"形容台積電，是有原因的，全世界多達90%先進晶片都來自台灣。
[[外交部長 吳釗燮]]
“面對(中國)入侵台灣的意圖，台積電將有威懾作用”
台灣和台積電受到國際高度重視，也顯現我國在半導體和地緣政治上的重要地位。
