🚨 IS THE U.S. GIVING TAIWAN TO CHINA? U.S. amps up its chip game, enticing giants like TSMC with billions under the CHIPS and Science Act, aiming to reshape global semiconductor dynamics. This shift could impact Taiwan's chip sector, pivotal to its $69.3 billion annual revenue, with concerns rising over China's promise to "take Taiwan back under its wing." With 23+ new U.S. chip facilities planned and $230 billion in private industry pledges, America's quest for tech sovereignty sparks a hiring frenzy for 90,000 new roles.

With TSMC's investment soaring over $65 billion, America's semiconductor supply chain is set for a monumental leap forward. Source: Bloomberg

🇳🇮🇩🇪ICJ: NICARAGUA TELLS GERMANY TO STOP ARMING ISRAEL “The Jewish victims in the concentration camps during the Second World War would feel sympathy and empathize with the more than 30,000 civilians, including 25,000 mothers and children massacred so far in Palestine, and the 20,000 children orphaned, and two mothers being killed every hour. States like Germany that sympathize with what the state of Israel was meant to represent when it was created should be doing their best to put a stop to what is happening and not continue backing Israel in practice. Even though they now, at least in public, perhaps forced by the enormous public outcry, make statements for peace six months after the start of the massacre, perhaps also in reaction to the present case before the court.” Source: Reuters
