“[Can the world come together against China if they invade Taiwan?] Yeah, I think so. While you're sort of looking at the difference between China and Russia, I'd suggest you look at the difference economically between Taiwan and Ukraine. Taiwan makes 94 percent of all the high-end semiconductors. The West cannot tolerate China seizing control of Taiwan. So absolutely we are going to push back. Everyone is going to unite and probably even more so than with Ukraine. What we've got to do is make the consequence of China attacking Taiwan so great that they choose not to do so. That's real deterrence.”

“They're luring away a lot of Taiwanese talent and cultivating their own industries in ways that are implicitly weakening the Taiwanese economy, and they're doing this without sending ships or boats into Taiwanese territorial space.”

“With Taiwan producing 90 percent of the world's high-end semiconductor products, it is a country of global significance, consequence and impact, and therefore it should be understood the security of Taiwan has a global impact.”

“The big concern in Washington is the possibility of Beijing gaining control of Taiwan's semiconductor capacity. It would be a devastating blow for the US economy and the ability of the US military to field its [weapon] platforms.”

“The bottleneck in fact is in Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia, because for a while the factories were all shut down. The problem was especially acute with auto chip packaging, with companies in Malaysia providing services not offered by Taiwanese firms. Now the focus is on Malaysia resuming production as soon as possible. I know that Malaysia started to restore production capacity in early September, and now the production capacity has returned to about 80%, so if their capacity can slowly come back, this problem can be slowly dealt with.”

“Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing equipment should be strengthened, the government should also help semiconductor manufacturers by nurturing their upstream and downstream supplies to build resilience for local industry, as Taiwan still relies heavily on Japan to import various chemicals and materials.”

“While for now the uptick [in COVID-19 cases] hasn't had an impact, if it lasts too long there could be logistical problems [in the semiconductor industry]. That's why it's urgent. We hope the international community can help release vaccines as soon as possible to help control the outbreak. We have talked to the Biden administration and we work closely together. We expect them to help. The US government has been very supportive of Taiwan and that is under their consideration. We expect that pretty soon the White House will have a decision.”

“That [the fact that Taiwan's chip industry is dubbed the 'silicon shield'] means the world all needs Taiwan's high-tech industry support. So they will not let the war happen in this region because it goes against [the] interest of every country in the world.”

“Even though Taiwan enterprises can produce the most advanced chips in the world, they also need an industry that has advanced equipment makers to purchase those chips.”

“Right now, for example, our manufactures of automobiles, home appliances, other products, are being forced to shut down a line or a plant temporarily because of a single company in Taiwan, which has reduced its shipments of semiconductor chips to our manufacturers. It's only a slight change, but we've seen profound losses, billions of dollars in losses in key U.S. manufacturers, because of that decision.”

“This is very much a state-based attack trying to manipulate Taiwan's standing and power, fundamentally damages a corporation's entire ability to do business. If you have a really deep understanding of these chips at a schematic level, you can run all sorts of simulated attacks on them and find vulnerabilities before they even get released. By the time the devices hit the market, they're already compromised. This is a way to cripple a part of Taiwan's economy, to hurt their long-term viability. If you look at the scope of this attack, pretty much the entire industry, up and down the supply chain, it seems like it's about trying to shift the power relationship there. If all the intellectual property is in China's hands, they have a lot more power.”
