About Taiwan Frontlines: Taiwan in the Global Arena
Taiwan Frontlines is a limited series podcast produced by GMF and hosted by Bonnie Glaser, GMF Indo-Pacific managing director, and Jason Hsu, former Taiwanese legislator and tech policy advocate. Taiwan’s role in the global economy is increasing, but the island faces a growing security threat from China. Given Taiwan’s geopolitical importance, deeper and more varied perspectives on its story, including those by voices from Taiwan, are long overdue. Taiwan Frontlines provides these perspectives. Each podcast episode features influential policymakers and thought leaders who join Bonnie and Jason to discuss relevant issues of technology, security, diplomacy, economic resilience, and Taiwan’s place in a shifting international order. Created in partnership with NOWNEWS, through its English-language platform Taiwan Current News (https://www.tcn.tw/)

Samsung kind of joined the game much later after 2012, more than 12 years later. And then TSMC has built enough barrier for anybody who can join this game. It took TSMC a lot of time, at least 20 years, already built all kinds of supporting systems for Foundry.
