Well, Taiwan's relationship with the US is very important.

嗯，臺灣與美國的關係非常重要。

That's the economic and also a security partner incredibly important for Taiwan.

這不僅是經濟夥伴，也是對臺灣極為重要的安全夥伴。

And today at the presidential office, Taiwan's President, President has been putting these two things together.

而今天在總統府，賴總統將這兩者結合起來。

It's been saying that through working together economically, cooperating during this time of geopolitical, geopolitical instability, the US and Taiwan can grow stronger.

他表示，透過經濟上的合作，在地緣政治不穩定的時期共同合作，美臺可以變得更強大。

He said that they'll be cooperating in some of those critical areas like AI, the chip sector and drones.

他提到，他們將在 AI、晶片產業和無人機等關鍵領域進行合作。

And he said that, you know, building resilient supply chains, democratic supply chains is key to both Taiwan and, and

他說，你知道，建立有韌性的供應鏈、民主供應鏈對臺灣和

there was also talk from officials here of those rare earth supplies and whether Taiwan and the US could work together on securing that critical, those critical rare earth minerals which you know, we use in all everyday tech.

這裡的官員也談到了稀土供應，以及臺灣和美國是否能合作確保這些關鍵的稀土礦產，你知道，我們日常使用的科技產品都需要用到。

And a key element of these agreements involves shifting part of semiconductor production away from Taiwan and investing in new plants in the US Is Taiwan giving up one of its most critical strategic assets?

而這些協議的關鍵要素之一，就是將部分半導體生產從臺灣移出，並在美國投資新廠。臺灣是在放棄它最重要的戰略資產之一嗎？

Well, of course Taiwan semiconductor industry is really important for the country.

嗯，當然，臺灣的半導體產業對這個國家非常重要。

Most of the most sophisticated chips are made here in Taiwan and it's important both a big part of the, of the country's economy but also for its security.

最先進的晶片大多在這裡生產，這不僅是國家經濟的重要組成部分，也關係到它的安全。

The fact that all of these really crucial chips and that Taiwan is so integrated in the technology supply chain is one of the things that many people think keeps Taiwan safe.

所有這些至關重要的晶片以及臺灣在科技供應鏈中的深度整合，是許多人認為能讓臺灣保持安全的原因之一。

So there has been some pushback particularly by political parties, by opposition parties against this plan to be moving, developing more Production chip fab TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

是以，有一些反對意見，特別是來自政黨、反對黨，對這項計畫提出質疑，也就是在臺灣以外發展更多臺積電的晶圓廠。

Fabs outside of Taiwan But Taiwan's president today and his office throughout these negotiations be saying it's not about moving stuff out of Taiwan, it's about growing the company as a whole and building fabs outside of Taiwan.

但臺灣總統今天和他的辦公室在整個談判過程中一直表示，這不是將生產移出臺灣，而是要擴大整個公司，並在臺灣以外建造晶圓廠。

Whilst R and D and the most sophisticated, the cutting edge technology will remain protected and will remain here in Taiwan.

至於研發和最尖端的技術，則會受到保護並留在臺灣。

government Strategic Defense Review which is a document outlining key U.S. interests around the world.

政府的「戰略防禦評估」這份文件中，該文件概述了美國在全球的關鍵利益。

Are there fears on the island that U.S. support for Taiwan isn't certain?

臺灣內部是否擔心美國對臺灣的支持並不確定？

Well, like everywhere else in the world, people in Taiwan have been watching Trump's presidency, the, the spheres of influence that he's been following, the different approach to geopolitics that he's taken.

嗯，就像世界其他地方一樣，臺灣人民一直在關注川普的總統任期，他所追隨的影響力範圍，以及他採取了不同的地緣政治方針。

But the US has long had a policy of what's called strategic ambiguity on Taiwan.

但美國長期以來對臺灣奉行所謂的「戰略模糊」政策。

It's never really said how exactly it sees its relations with Taiwan, how it wants to help Taiwan in the event of an attack by China.

美國從未明確表示它如何看待與臺灣的關係，以及在中國攻擊時，它希望如何協助臺灣。

So Taiwan has been quite used to, you know, reading between the lines on this sort of thing.

所以臺灣已經很習慣，你知道的，去解讀這類事情的弦外之音。

And for many people here, you know, you know, actions speak louder than words.

對這裡的許多人來說，你知道的，你知道的，行動勝於雄辯。

Money talks and the fact that the US passed a record spending a weapons package for Taiwan and just, just over a month ago, 11 billion USD.

And again the fact that they've been able to move forward with this tariff deal, closer cooperation, that speaks really highly to people here in Taiwan.

Meanwhile, there have been reports of low level talks between the taiw Chinese opposition and the Chinese Communist Party.

Yeah, in fact, there's a delegation from the Kuomintang, the opposition party, have visiting China this week.

We don't know whether they're going to be meeting with the Chinese Communist Party, but

而且，你知道，美國通過了創紀錄的對臺軍售方案，就在一個多月前，金額高達 110 億美元。

that sort of shows you the very fractious, very divided politics here in Taiwan over how exactly Taiwan should be treating that China question.

而且，他們能夠推進這項關稅協議，加強合作，這讓臺灣人民非常看重。

The ruling party, the government here in Taipei, says, you know, that there should be strength through deterrence, that Taiwan needs to have strong relations with the us, it needs to buy more weapons, it needs to spend more on defense to deter China.

與此同時，有報導稱臺灣的在野黨與中國共產黨之間有低層級的會談。

Whilst others, like the opposition party, say that dialogue is key and that they don't see a problem with being, you know, going communicating with China.

This morning, the president here said that he also has no problem speaking with China, but

是的，事實上，國民黨，也就是在野黨，有一個代表團本週正在訪問中國。
