Well, as we know, TSMC is now expanding around the world and bringing with the TSMC network the cybersecurity—as I mentioned—to trusted networks in all parts of the supply chain. And I think this is good, because this is a sign of Taiwanese interdependence. Chips have become indispensable, and cybersecurity and the counter-information attack practices that we have built—the Taiwan Model—is now shaping the norm for all the suppliers of TSMC, which as we mentioned, spans many democratic countries. And I also think that because Taiwan stands for trustworthiness, it also means that people come to see Taiwan as indispensable not just for economic reasons, but because Taiwan’s chips have critical academic, scientific, military and industrial uses. There are many more conversations that we can have with tech providers around the world. For people who want to do so-called sovereign technologies, who want to build a technological stack that is not dependent on or getting colonized by Big Tech anywhere else in the world, Taiwan is your trusted friend because we do not harbor any intention of colonizing anyone.
