According to Taiwan media reports, TSMC originally expected to set up a factory in Kaohsiung, Taiwan to invest in 7-nanometer and 28-nanometer processes, but now TSMC President Wei Zhejia said that the 7-nanometer process will be "temporarily delayed". In this regard, Chen Fengxin, a senior media person in Taiwan, pointed out that if it is purely based on TSMC's first choice, it would be more suitable to go to Tainan to set up a factory, but TSMC has no choice. Political achievements, TSMC has become a tool of manipulation in the political wind.

Chen Fengxin said in the political talk show "Wind with Dragon and Phoenix" that TSMC is indeed everyone's common treasure. The best group of people in Taiwan's science and engineering departments have joined TSMC. For example, many students in Taiwan put the medical department in The first choice, so Taiwan's medical ability is very strong.
Chen Fengxin mentioned that another very strong field in Taiwan is, of course, semiconductors, because Taiwan Cheng Qing Jiao (Taiwan University, National Cheng Kung University, , Hsinchu Tsinghua University, Yangming Jiaotong University) related departments as long as they graduate, If the first choice is TSMC, it will be absorbed by TSMC, so TSMC has absorbed a group of excellent people from Taiwan in the past, and it has made semiconductors the best industry in Taiwan. How to make TSMC and the semiconductor industry continue to be in the industry? Taiwan has become the most important connection center in the world, which is extremely important to Taiwan, but recently, because of politics, TSMC is being "propagated".
Chen Fengxin said that last year TSMC said that it would set up a factory in Kaohsiung, which is what local residents could not desire, but the question is whether TSMC's choice was voluntary or forced? When it was first reported that Kaohsiung wanted to recruit TSMC to set up a factory, TSMC’s first reaction was not to consider it, because TSMC’s priority was Tainan, and the Kaohsiung City Government wanted TSMC to set up a factory in the area, if it wanted to remove the original high pollution in the local area , it will take about 10 years, but TSMC's 28-nanometer and 7-nanometer are things to be done within 1 year, how can it be possible to wait until the land pollution is lifted before setting up factories.
But Chen Fengxin mentioned that if you want to set up a factory in Tainan at that time, you must expand the land, and you need to go through a lot of reviews, listings, etc. The Tainan city government tried hard to fight for it, but the DPP authorities ignored it, and instead accelerated the process in Kaohsiung. This is the intervention of political power. At the same time, the Kaohsiung City Government also requires ", CNPC and " to remove the pollution. As a result, CNPC also charged a sky-high fee to remove the pollution within a year.
Chen Fengxin said that purely from the perspective of TSMC's first choice, it would be more suitable to go to Tainan to set up a factory, but TSMC has no choice but to go to Kaohsiung, because this can become Kaohsiung's political achievements, which will make Kaohsiung people very happy , but from the perspective of TSMC's mood, TSMC has become a tool for manipulating the political wind. Others are like buying a vaccine, it must be pulled by TSMC, and.
Chen Fengxin bluntly said that I believe that any local government highly welcomes TSMC's advanced manufacturing process to set up factories, but if political factors are involved, TSMC's original consideration is not based on its own costs, but based on the comparative interests of others. Forced to decide the first choice. (Editor: Fang Yanyan)
