TSMC’s key technologies will stay in Taiwan: premier
TSMC’s key technologies will stay in Taiwan: premier
2025-03-07
The government on Friday again moved to allay public fears that Taiwan’s star chipmaker TSMC would not move its most advanced technology to the US, leaving the island more vulnerable to tense geopolitics. TSMC is popularly known as Taiwan’s silicon shield, as many Taiwanese believe having its most advanced technology onshore ensures that other countries will want to help Taiwan if China invaded the island. KMT leader Eric Chu charged that with TSMC’s new US$100 billion investment in the U.S., the silicon shield will weaken. Premier Cho Jung-tai in response said he would maintain Taiwan’s key status in the industry, while the economics minister Kuo Jyh-huei said he would ensure there was enough land available for TSMC’s expansions in Taiwan.
C.C. Wei (March 6)
TSMC CEO
Why are we expanding in the US? It is because of customer demand. As of now, this year’s on full schedule, so is next year. Even our production lines that will be built the year after will have orders to fulfill immediately. As for Taiwan, already we’re planning to add 11 production lines.
TSMC CEO C.C. Wei is stressing that expanding the company’s US investments is a result of huge customer demand and its true R&D center will remain in Hsinchu. In other words, TSMC’s advanced processes will remain in Taiwan. The opposition is still not buying this.
Eric Chu
KMT chair
We saw yesterday that President Lai pushed TSMC CEO C.C. Wei to the front, which was tantamount to letting himself off the hook. But it was not to let Taiwan off the hook. After the six wafer fabs, two packaging plants and the R&D center are moved over, the entire function of the silicon shield will be greatly reduced, and the sacred mountains that protect the nation will be cut in half. The DPP is still focusing on political propaganda and party interests.
Cho Jung-tai
Premier
TSMC has established plans in many municipalities in Taiwan. Some of them are already being implemented and some are in the planning process. For a long time to come, Taiwan will continue to ensure its leading position in critical technologies internationally.
The government has repeatedly assured that TSMC will not become an American “ASMC” and it would work on improving the investment environment in Taiwan.
Kuo Jyh-huei
Minister of Economic Affairs
There is enough land. We are working hard for water and electricity, so they should be sufficient. The key technologies will definitely remain in Taiwan.
After TSMC and the Lai administration worked together to allay public concerns, TSMC’s share price flat-lined at NT$1,005 on Friday.

朱立倫嗆"神山少一半" 卓揆:會確保台灣關鍵地位
2025-03-07
台積電董座魏哲家，一返台，立刻和總統賴清德召開記者會釋疑，強調關鍵技術一定留在台灣，但國民黨主席朱立倫，看到黑影就開槍，嗆聲"護國神山少一"半，行政院長卓榮泰回應，會繼續確保台灣在國際上的關鍵地位，至於台積電在台灣擴廠的土地夠不夠，經濟部長郭智輝掛保證，說一定夠。
[[台積電董事長 魏哲家(3.6)]]
“為什麼在美國要擴展，我已經回答這個問題了，因為客戶的需求，我們到現在為止，已經全滿了，明年也滿了，後年要蓋的生產線，也被訂了，在台灣，今年我們就要蓋11個生產線”
台積電董事長魏哲家強調，到美國擴大投資，是因為客戶的龐大需求，留在新竹的是真正的研發中心，換句話說，就是先進製程必定根留台灣，但在野黨還是不買單。
[[國民黨主席 朱立倫]]
“我們看到昨天賴總統，把台積電魏董事長推在前面，等於是幫他解套，而不是今天要幫台灣解套，六座晶圓廠加兩座封裝廠，加研發中心過去之後，台灣矽盾整個功能就會大幅度降低，護國神山可能也少了一半，民進黨還是把心思放在政治宣傳，放在政黨利益”
[[行政院長 卓榮泰]]
“台積電在國內，許多縣市已經有既定計畫，已經在執行當中的，也有在規劃當中的，未來很長一段時間內，台灣繼續在國際上確保，關鍵技術的領先地位”
政府再三保證，台積電不會變成美積電，只是台灣的投資條件還有不足。
[[經濟部長 郭智輝]]
“土地夠，水電我們在努力，應該是夠的，關鍵技術一定留在台灣”
台積電和賴政府攜手釋疑美積電後，週五股價以1005元，平盤作收。
