Taipei – August 17, 2023. Vice President Lai Ching-ti (賴清德) wants to turn Taiwan into the “Silicon Valley of Asia”. He made the remark today during his second and final stop in the United States as part of a week-long trip to attend the inauguration of Paraguayan President Santiago. Bina.
In his speech, citing Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation (TSMC)’s new R&D facility in northern Taiwan, Lai said the company has shown its commitment to staying in Taiwan. He added that other Taiwanese industries, such as information and communication technology, are also constantly innovating to maintain their important position in the global supply chain.
Lai delivered the speech to an audience of mostly Taiwanese living in the United States. American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) President Laura Rosenberger also attended. She said Taiwan is an important partner in the US efforts to promote world peace and stability. Rosenberger said the United States will continue to support Taiwan’s self-defense capabilities with weapons supplies.
China has criticized Lai’s tour of the United States. During his visit to the United States, many Chinese protesters gathered to demand the reunification of China and Taiwan. However, some Taiwanese scholars have rated Lai’s visit as a relatively low visit. So it will likely not turn into a major military response by China.
