「台灣已經在製造更薄、更快、更強大晶片(或半導體)的競賽中處於領先地位......台灣在技術和市場影響力方面都有優勢。這個小島人口只有2400萬,卻處於全球科技霸權爭奪戰的中心。在影響力方面,它就是世界上最重要的地方。」
「許多科技分析師預測,未來台灣的商業模式將使其擁有明顯優勢。大多數客戶更喜歡不與他們在晶片設計或設備製造上競爭的純晶圓代工,只有台灣能提供這一服務。這是蘋果(Apple)將iPhone的處理晶片從三星換成台積電的一個重要原因,也是英特爾預計會將其最先進的晶片生產主要外包給台積電的原因。」
「台灣已經成為全球科技供應鏈的關鍵一環,在其地緣政治重要性外更增添了經濟籌碼。隨著全球科技霸權爭奪戰的升溫,這一籌碼的重量可能還會繼續增加。」

"Over the past year, Taiwan has taken a lead in the race to build thinner, faster and more powerful chips, or semiconductors…... Taiwan has the edge in both technology and market power. It is a small island of just 24 million people, but it is at the center of the battle for global technological supremacy. Pound for pound, it is the most important place in the world...... Going forward, many tech analysts predict that Taiwan’s business model gives it a clear edge...... Taiwan has become a critical link in the global tech supply chain, adding economic weight to the geopolitical calculations. And that weight is likely to increase as the battle for global tech supremacy heats up.”
