Taiwan Chips

The Taiwan, America, China Triangle of Strangulation Power

Posted on by Helena

The Taiwan, America, China triangle of Power: Swimming Upstream.

Historically, Taiwan has been a colony for hundreds of years including being ruled by the Dutch, the Portuguesa, the Chinese, and Japan. Its independence and sovereignty are only a recent, tenuous spirit of time.  After WWII and defeat of Japan, the allies agreed to authorize China to take control of the island. This was agreed to via the Potsdam Conference in 1945.  At the time Taiwan commodities included rice and sugar  as well as coal, camphor, salt and timber production.  These resources were nationalized by China and Taiwan slid into hyper-inflation and economic disorder.

A civil war was ongoing between the communists and the Kuomintang government under Chiang Kai Shek.  As a result, millions of Chinese fled the war and settled in Taiwan.  The Kuomintang governed Taiwan under martial law from 1949 to 1987. 

By 1974, Taiwan officially entered the semiconductor industry. Still under the government of Chiang Kai Shek, The government and the Industrial Technology Research Institute licensed chip technology from the U.S. company RCA.  By 1977, Taiwan had built its first demonstration fabrication plant and successfully began producing commercial chips.  Taiwan’s Chiang Kai Shek was Iraq’s Saddam.  The government was building a new economy, building ports, expanding infrastructure, and upgrading the quality of life while stamping down inflation.

In February 1979, the US instituted a Law titled The Taiwan Relations Act:  “The decision to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means and that any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes is considered a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States.”

This Act was between the US and the US.  It was not an agreement or treaty with Taiwan or China and had zero bearing on their social or economic system.  Yet, the US was attempting to insert itself into an economy that effectively belonged to Taiwan and China. In addition, in a demonstrably aggressive move against China, the US decided to arm Taiwan with ‘defensive weapons’ should ‘any danger to the United States interests arise from such threats’.

The logic was the US armed Taiwan to ensure its peace…  To ensure the US stake, the American Institute in Taiwan was established.   The tech revolution began with the US claiming rights over Taiwan’s semiconductor industry which burgeoned into Taiwan becoming the world’s largest producer of chips at 60% of the global market.

When Trump left China and made the statement that he agreed with Xi Jinping on Taiwan’s sovereignty, the game was to assure Jinping would not interfere in America’s dependence on Taiwan chips.  Without which the US cannot make weapons to destroy countries and murder peoples.  Trump left on tip-toes with an empty wallet.

Today, The Economist declares that Trump is amassing troops around Taiwan via South Korea, Japan and the Philippines.  The current number of troops stationed in Japan alone is roughly 60,000. America is not protecting Taiwan from China, America is protecting its major chip manufacturer after devastating the US weapons inventory stockpile.  Playing nice with Jinping assures Taiwan’s ‘status quo’. of delivering chips to America. Intel has failed to deliver and remains at least 4 years into the future before it can begin to replace the Taiwan chips.

Why doesn’t Nvidia simply cover all the manufacturing for the US?

Because Nvidia designs the architecture and software for its chips, but outsources all physical manufacturing to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).  If China shuts down Taiwan shipments to the US – Ladies and Gentlemen – we are screwed. Nvidia is screwed. And China wins. Again.

The Art of The Deal. Trump had nothing to offer. So he brought every major tech CEO to grovel at China’s feet and Xi was indifferent.

While the media montage claim Putin’s visit to China tonight is a humbling for Russia, the Putin/Xi relationship has been ongoing for 20 years – he has visited China for various government meetings at least once every year if not more. Russia and China share trade via the BRICS+. They trust each other – whereas Trump has shown himself to be a pathological liar subject to whimsical changes within hours of a handshake.

When Trump declared that Middle East Leaders told him to stand down from attacking Iran today, those same leaders said they were not even informed that an attack was planned.  It is much more likely, Xi Jinping told Trump to stand down or they would take Taiwan and – No More Chips For YOU! Trump was afraid to tell the truth because he would be ripped as Xi’s little puppet.  So, he manufactured a story that he thought, his advisors thought, would not be challenged.

What Trump’s Advisors don’t seem to understand is that the Saudis and China have a strategic trade partnership, China is Qatar’s largest trading partner, and the UAE and China have deep economic integration. Information is exchanged… What has been understated is the depletion of weapons is likely much greater than we are told.

What the Middle East and China don’t have is sanctions, deceit, and Israel hemorrhaging their economies via blackmail. Israel wanted America’s stranglehold as the American Empire – to implode.  Israel pulled the plug and is using Trump and Congress to achieve this goal.  And what we have learned is that their own precious reputations are more important than America and Americans.

INTEL Building Largest Global Chip Plant in – Ohio.

Posted on by Helena

INTEL is opening up in Ohio.   3190 annexed acres, 8 chip factories.   “The new site will be designed and constructed with green building principles, and the new factories have a goal to be powered by 100% renewable electricity, achieve net positive water use, and achieve zero total waste to landfill in support of Intel’s 2030 sustainability goals.”

Apparently the sustainable goals do NOT address ‘water preservation’.   One chip making factory uses upwards of 4-10 million gallons of water PER DAY. That water consumption would be the equivalent of 300,000 Households.   Many plants have resorted to water recycling methods which can reduce consumption by as much as 40%.   Meaning instead of taking water from 300,000 households – they are now taking water from just 180,000 households.  It is NOT just Households – it is FARMS.  Food chains.

INTEL bought the Ohio land from MCVGCM Holdings LLC which was formed November 2021. MCVGCM’s ownership is unknown – however their agent is a lawyer for Bricker and Eckler, LLP.    Heavy on Diversity and Equity – sustainable development – Agenda 2030, Bricker & Eckler focuses primarily on ‘Healthcare’.  It is likely they are die hard democrats – in alliance with all things WEF.

The land was annexed from farmers representing half of the Jersey township.   The annexation was approved through the New Albany Township. Some of the annexed property came from MJB Holdings, LLC whose agent/officer is CT Corporation Systems – incorporated in Delaware. CT is a subsidiary of Wolters Kluwer, a Netherlands conglomerate.   To what extent INTEL is working jointly with The Netherlands is unclear.   Residents said they sold because they had no choice – but the rural Mayberry township is no more. Their agriculture is no more.   And all water rights will be redirected to INTEL.

What does this mean for Taiwan?  Our main supplier of Chips and our good Buddy against China?

Taiwan is the largest global producer of chips.   The US is dependent on Taiwan for imports.   When supply chains were disrupted, the lack of supply affected everything from electronics to appliances to automobiles.

The Biden administration declared the US would increase manufacturing as a result.   INTEL is on the receiving end of government funding including State grants of $600 million for the manufacturing process, $691 million for infrastructure improvements and $650 million in tax incentives.   The Federal Government has allocated $52 billion in grants for the Industry via the Chips Act, as well as a 25% tax credit.

Intel’s initial investment was $20 billion and they have committed to $100 billion for what might become the world’s largest manufacturing plant. Given the magnitude of INTEL’s blueprint they could qualify for the vast majority of Federal Grant money.

At this stage INTEL is hoping to be up and running sometime in 2025 – so maintaining a close alliance with Taiwan is a necessary agenda.  For the time being.

South Korean giant, Samsung claims they are working with the government of South Korea to expand their footprint and investing $260 billion into chip making plants.

In a classic over-reach, the Biden Handlers have declared that any chip company exporting to China in which any part of the chip is made using US intel would require a US approved license.   Thus cutting off China as a strategic partner with virtually everyone.   It is likely that shadow ban would include Russia and possibly any country doing business with Russia – making it problematic.

Of course, should the US have an actual legal election all of these sanctions and regulations could be completely repealed.

The chip industry will likely grow considerably with advancements in mandated electric usage.   For example a gas powered car requires roughly 300 chip while an electric vehicle requires upwards of 3000 to 5000.   Chips do come with their downside including smart grid cyberattacks.   But they also present control issues that align with the concept of ‘social credit’.

Of course, the entire strategy is built on a demand concept.   IF our governments continue to depopulate, demand will fall and these chip plants anticipating a 2030 BLOWOUT in profits, could find themselves beleaguered in inventory. If banks go belly up – so do loans to manufacturing.   The tenuous trail of supply is not unlike ‘nature’ – take out one of the species involved in the natural order and the entire order slowly dominoes into collapse.

In the meantime – these chip conglomerates need land and water.   Lots of both.   They need a steady stream of silicon.   All of which takes from another Industry – Agriculture!
