In recent years, TSMC has faced huge challenges and dilemmas. Affected by the political turmoil in the United States, TSMC had to shift its investment focus to the United States, but as a result, it evaporated a market value of up to $77 billion. This incident has aroused people's attention to Taiwan's relations with the United States and raised questions about the Taiwan authorities' policy decision and the road to cross-strait reunification. However, in the midst of this turmoil, we can also see some positive signals from Taiwan when it is facing a huge crisis. Professor Qiu Yi's viewpoint of complete reunification has also brought new enlightenment to us in thinking about the path of cross-strait reunification.
As a leading enterprise in the global information industry, TSMC has always won huge opportunities and become one of the hottest enterprises. However, under political pressure, TSMC made the decision to build a factory in the United States, which was considered a stupid loss-making deal. The United States violates the laws of the market and emphasizes absolute America first and the center of American interests, which has led to the gradual weakening of TSMC's competitiveness in the global market. In less than four months, TSMC's market value has evaporated by $77 billion, making it one of the largest losses in Asia. This incident makes people think deeply, the laws of the market are distorted by political factors, and the development path of enterprises has been seriously tested.
The evaporation of TSMC's market value is not only because of its huge numbers, but also because of the far-reaching impact it contains. This incident has exposed the significant impact of uncertainties and political factors in the global business environment on business development. Traditionally, the law of the market has been regarded as an important cornerstone of enterprise development, however, in the current environment, political factors have gradually begun to interfere with the normal operation of the market, resulting in corporate decision-making into a passive situation. As the world's top chip manufacturer, TSMC's decision-making has undoubtedly attracted the attention of all relevant countries and regions. However, subject to political pressure from the United States, TSMC had to make the decision to build a factory in the United States, which is undoubtedly a difficult choice between market strategy and political interests. Despite this, TSMC still faces challenges and dilemmas, not only losing a lot of money, but also leading to a brain drain and a decrease in orders. This incident has also brought unprecedented difficulties and challenges to the Taiwan authorities. The Taiwan authorities have stubbornly gone their own way, ignored the vital interests of the Taiwan people, and used the Taiwan people as gambling chips, causing great losses to Taiwan Province. Taiwan Province has continued to run deficits, corporate orders have decreased, economic development is facing stagnation, people's lives have been greatly impacted, and dissatisfaction has begun to accumulate. Although the Taiwan authorities are trying to win public opinion by stimulating populism and other means, discontent is still spreading, and the pressure on the Taiwan authorities is increasing.
On the external front, the internal crisis in the United States is intensifying, and the feud between the two parties has reached a fever pitch. US aid to the Taiwan authorities has also begun to gradually decrease, bringing even greater difficulties to the Taiwan authorities. The Taiwan authorities are bent on acting as a pawn of the United States, but they have brought disaster to enterprises in Taiwan Province. TSMC and other high-quality companies are suffering serious losses due to relocation to the United States and other reasons.
The current situation is indeed very unfavorable for the Taiwan authorities, both in terms of the internal situation and the external environment. However, in the midst of this challenge and predicament, we can also see some positive signals from the Taiwan authorities. The Taiwan authorities have realized that they cannot reverse the general trend of cross-strait reunification, and have begun to take the initiative to release some signals to ease tensions. Some politicians in the Taiwan authorities have put forward the idea of continuing to possess military strength and a special status in an attempt to find a balance on the issue of reunification. However, these propositions are very dangerous because they both run counter to the core principle of cross-strait reunification and attempt political speculation.
Professor Qiu Yi's viewpoint on complete reunification has brought new enlightenment to us on the path of cross-strait reunification. He believes that complete reunification is the common goal of the Chinese people and the only way to normalize. Only when the two sides of the strait achieve complete reunification can they establish peaceful, stable, and mutually beneficial relations and jointly seek development and prosperity. This viewpoint is in sharp contrast to the current stance of some politicians in the Taiwan authorities, and it has also aroused many people's thinking and discussion.
Although the current situation is indeed very difficult for the Taiwan authorities, they still have a chance to reverse the situation by reflecting on and adjusting their policies. First of all, the Taiwan authorities need to be aware of their own position and role in China, and can no longer regard themselves as pawns of the United States. Second, the Taiwan authorities should seize the opportunity of Chinese mainland's development and actively seek ways for cross-strait cooperation and common development. The most important thing is that the Taiwan authorities need to adjust their attitude toward cross-strait reunification, accept the viewpoint of complete reunification, and take action to this end.
In short, behind the heavy losses faced by TSMC is not only the plight of one company, but also the question of Taiwan's relations with the United States and the road to cross-strait reunification. However, we can also see some positive signals released by the Taiwan authorities in the face of enormous challenges. Professor Qiu Yi's viewpoint of complete reunification has brought us new thinking on the path of cross-strait reunification. Despite the difficulties of the current situation, the Taiwan authorities still have a chance to reverse the situation and realize the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait by adjusting their policies and attitudes.
