Trump-Xi Summit: "Fortress of Freedom": Taiwan is preparing militarily and morally for an emergency
Ahead of the US-China summit, concerns are growing in Taiwan that Donald Trump will sacrifice the chip hub for a deal with Xi Jinping. A report from a democracy under siege.
Jiin Ming Technology, a company in Taipei once known for supplying TV tubes and components for Apple's iPod, is now showcasing its military drone technology. The company's CEO, Alson Chien, is pictured with two drones, including a small quad-rotor called Viper and a prototype of a lightweight winged drone with jet propulsion. Jiin Ming Technology is part of a national trend in Taiwan, where the chip and computer industry is preparing militarily and morally to defend against a potential takeover by China.
The company believes it can contribute to protecting Taiwan's democracy. A conflict in the region could disrupt the global supply of high-performance chips, in which Taiwan's TSMC is a market leader.
