Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the history of Asia and Taiwan continues with the video in which we discuss how Taiwan has emerged as a critical player in global geopolitics and technology, holding a pivotal role in the semiconductor industry. This video explores Taiwan’s transformation from a poor agricultural economy to a technological powerhouse, driven by its strategic focus on innovation, semiconductor manufacturing, and partnerships with global tech giants. We delve into Taiwan’s “Silicon Shield,” its role in the global supply chain, and how this impacts its geopolitical position amidst rising tensions with China. Discover the history, economic policies, and technological strides that make Taiwan indispensable to the global economy, while examining the challenges it faces in maintaining its independence and technological edge. From its early history to its modern-day importance, this video provides an in-depth look at how Taiwan became a beacon of technological innovation and a focal point in East Asian geopolitics.

Pls change your language,
It’s a country of Taiwan since Taiwan is the most democratic country in Asia
What an Ignorant/thieves/invaders/grabber like a Dreamer! They (Mongols of Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Singapore, Korean and white US/EU/RU & AF, white mix racists) already have Mark of the Beasts-666).
Nothing will stop de reunification of overseas china and the victory of the Chinese workers! 🇨🇳
It's a video that all Taiwanese should view.
Tankies are mad.
TSMC builds the major American giants and has assisted them since they first started their business because the major American manufacturers were unwilling to help these small companies produce chips.
Apple and Nvidia are both companies cultivated by tsmc.
Tesla is also a company cultivated in Taiwan. Its initial scale was very small, and no American company was willing to help it develop electric vehicles. Tesla looked for factories in Taiwan to help it build its electric cars. Tesla's first electric vehicle was developed in Linkou, Taiwan.
Three of the top 10 companies in the United States were created in Taiwan, and Taiwan's contribution to the US's current economic prosperity is significant.
台灣最猛
Well done China Superpower 💪💪👏👏👍👍💯💯♥️♥️
Great video

台灣是多民族國家，尊重包容多元化，謝謝你介紹台灣。
台灣跟中華民國不相干.國際所挺的都是有合法國際地位的台灣,不要混合一起.
中華民在1949年已被中共消滅,這是聯合國寫在憲章的紀錄.
台灣是日本國土,因戰敗被當殖民地釋出,
聯合國規定,殖民地的政治地位由當地住民自己決定,不准他國侵占跟屠殺.
中華民國利用被指派來託管台灣,卻是用屠殺侵占台灣.
希望國際共同恢復台灣的國際地位.
It’s a good idea to have the Taiwan flag imprinted on each and every chip produced in Taiwan
嗨 我台灣人，感謝報導台灣
我從出社會工作到現在，換了幾份工作好像都離不開半導體，台灣一路走來不容易，感謝這些為台灣奉獻的人。
People’s Republic of China was independent from Republic of China in 1949 A.D.
So, in fact, there is no such thing as “Taiwan independence”, there is only “People’s Republic of China independence in 1949”!
Imitation to innovation.
Is that Ai art?
We Taiwanese use a magic item called "Kuai Kuai", even TSMC applies this technique to everything.
Google it and find the reports. Good luck. I can't tell you more.
Interesting video
Great
No mention of CEOs of two biggest GPU companies (Nvidia and AMD) are being from Taiwan (and are relatives by the way)? I've expected to see or at least being mentioned in this video.
Currently the Number.1 Semiconductor Foundry company in the World.
台湾古代叫琉球，东汉时期就是中国领土，长期以来受中国政府管辖，明代郑成功从荷兰人手里收复了台湾，后来清朝打败了台湾郑家，甲午战争割让给了日本，日本战败后归中华民国政府。台湾少数民族只是一小部分，要是这么理解北美不就是印第安人的吗？The island, known as Nansei Islands in ancient times, was Chinese territory during the Eastern Han dynasty and had long been under the control of the Chinese government. In the Ming dynasty, Koxinga conquered the island from the Dutch, and the Qing dynasty defeated the Zheng family, the First Sino-Japanese War was ceded to the Japanese, who lost the war to the Republic of China government. Taiwan minority is only a small part, if so understand North is not the Indians?
中国大陆的中芯国际已经发展起来了，如果干掉台积电，那么受益的就是三星和中芯，如果中国继续禁止半导体原料出口，三星也够呛。The Chinese mainland smic has already developed. If TSMC is eliminated, it will benefit Samsung and smic, and Samsung will not be able to do so if China continues to ban exports of semiconductor materials.
Good artwork and another great video
台灣可以被毀滅，無法征服。
😂❤👍👍👍
Boring
The sinitic race has no claim on taiwan island. First and primary and legitimate claimants are the austronesian race.
Also the sinitic race should stop migrating and taking over south east asia.
The rule is: as southeast asian Austronesians have no business migrating into northeast asia, northeast asian Sinitics have no business migrating into southeast asia.
12:24 Take note China
After defeated they fled to Taiwan they wasted no single time to keep improving themselves and learn from America and western countries technologies know how that's where they propelled whereas big country china narrow-minded inferior thinking keep wasting resources crying over spilled milk that Taiwan still belongs to them instead of congratulating small island Taiwan and take care of their own china billion population basic livelihood first that's why even after 80 years , even another 70 years china will still never improve.
