JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has issued a stark warning to European leaders, declaring that the continent is “losing” the global competitiveness race to the United States and China. Speaking at an event in Dublin hosted by Ireland’s foreign ministry, Dimon highlighted the EU’s economic decline relative to the US. “Europe has gone from 90 per cent [of] US GDP to 65 per cent over 10 or 15 years.

“A Chip Odyssey” is a groundbreaking documentary that chronicles the unlikely rise of Taiwan’s TSMC to become the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturer. The film, which took more than five years to make, premiered in June. In this special weekend episode, Taiwan Talks speaks with the film’s producer about the making of the documentary and about what he discovered about the country’s chip sector along the way. What factors paved the way for Taiwan’s emergence as a high-tech powerhouse? What does this mean for the country’s future? And can Taipei successfully protect its economic advantages in chip manufacturing while also boosting cooperation with its main security guarantor, the United States? Join us as we journey through the past, present and potential future of TSMC and the Taiwan semiconductor industry.

In this episode of DC Insiders, Dmitri Alperovitch, chair of Silverado Policy Accelerator and author of “World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the 21st Century,” shares with host Wenchi Yu that the U.S. is engaged in a “Cold War II” with China, a comprehensive global competition encompassing technological, economic, military, political and geostrategic dimensions, including arms, trade, space and spy races, which he deems an existential threat to America’s global standing. He highlights critical cybersecurity threats from China, such as “Volt Typhoon” targeting critical infrastructure for potential future disruption, particularly in a conflict over Taiwan, and “Salt Typhoon” aimed at espionage within U.S. telecom networks. Alperovitch notes the significant improvement in China’s cyber capabilities, placing them among top-tier threat actors, with all such activities being state-sponsored. To win this competition, he stresses the necessity for the U.S. to dominate key technologies and their components: semiconductors, for which Taiwan is a “critical epicenter,” and critical minerals, where the U.S. currently depends on Chinese processing and refining due to unfair trade practices. Other crucial areas include AI, space technology, biotechnology, medical sciences and energy security. Alperovitch underscores Taiwan’s vital geostrategic importance, viewing it as crucial for containing China’s power projection in East Asia and emphasizing deterrence as the primary goal given Taiwan’s natural defensive advantages.#TaiwanPlus #TaiwanPlusNews #TaiwanNews-

Taiwan’s military has live-streamed drills featuring live-fire operations using its new M1A2T Abrams tanks on the second day of its largest and longest-ever annual military exercise. The 41st edition of the Han Kuang exercise marks a significant departure from previous years, both in scale and duration. The 10-day, round-the-clock war game, which started on July 9, 2025, is designed to reflect a more realistic and protracted cross-strait conflict scenario.

The Quad’s most recent Foreign Ministers’ Meeting took place in Washington, D.C. on July 1, 2025. At the summit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the foreign ministers of Australia, India and Japan reaffirmed their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The four partners discussed how to improve their security cooperation through joint maritime training, even as they seek to find alternatives to China’s rare earth monopoly. These critical minerals are important for many high-tech defense systems, which would be necessary during a potential crisis in the Taiwan Strait. However, are Trump’s so-called “reciprocal” tariffs putting a strain on the Quad? And is Secretary Rubio over-extended in his dual roles as U.S. Secretary of State and National Security Advisor? In this episode, we discuss the Quad’s latest meeting, regional maritime security issues, China rare earths, and Marco Rubio.

As the G7 met in Canada in June to discuss global economic and security issues, China was aggressively courting its Central Asian neighbors. Beijing’s diplomatic push also overlapped with U.S. President Donald Trump’s surprising decision to intervene in the military conflict between Israel and Iran. With the United States distracted in the Middle East and China gathering new allies in Asia, has Taiwan become more vulnerable? Meanwhile, Taipei has attempted to protect its world-leading semiconductor industry by imposing new restrictions on China’s Huawei and SMIC. But are these bans too late to make a difference? In this episode, we discuss China’s Central Asia push, the U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict, and what Taiwan is doing to defend its economic and national security amid these geopolitical shifts.

China fumed as a British warship transited the international waters of the Taiwan Strait on June 18 for the first time in four years. The U.K. said the passage fully complied with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. It comes as Japan is also increasing its transits in line with the U.S.’s freedom of navigation operations through the Taiwan Strait. But how is this linked to a proposed change in Taiwan’s “Cross-Strait Act”, an amendment that civic groups have raised concerns about? Are those fears substantiated and how divided is Taiwan? Is China always the winner if Taiwan is divided, and how can the nation overcome this?

Trump has announced that the United States has signed a groundbreaking trade deal with China—one that “starts to open up China.” But the details are being kept under wraps. Why? Because this deal is a bombshell that could expose Xi Jinping’s biggest secret. According to a Chinese insider, the agreement opens China’s markets to American firms, levels the playing field for foreign businesses, and dismantles Beijing’s use of rare earths as political leverage. Xi Jinping is reportedly furious about the deal. So why the secrecy? It was requested by China’s Party Elders—who are now sidelining Xi behind closed doors. Their plan? To formally announce Xi’s downfall in the coming months. When exactly? A Taiwanese media outlet may have just dropped a hint.

In South Korea’s presidential election on June 3, the then-opposition Korean Democratic Party received 49.42 percent of the vote, while the ruling People Power Party (PPP) came second with 41.15 percent. Six months earlier, the PPP’s then-leader, President Yoon Suk Yeol, attempted to declare martial law, for which he was later impeached and removed. Now under new leadership, the PPP is finding its feet as the main opposition party in a closely divided country. How does the new opposition view President Lee Jae-myung? What do election results mean for Seoul’s relationship with Taipei? And how would Lee respond to a crisis in the Taiwan Strait? In this special episode from South Korea, TaiwanTalks speaks to a member of the PPP about the election results, Yoon’s failed martial law bid, and the consequences for South Korea’s foreign policy.
