“The computer industry is built because of Taiwan, so it’s a very, very important country,” added Huang. 

Reflecting on his interactions with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), Huang expressed anticipation for meetings with CEO C.C. Wei, affirming his frequent visits to the company. Regarding the advancements in artificial intelligence, he noted, “Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, including here in Taiwan.”
