Robert Tsao Donating NT$3B for Defense Education 曹興誠批中囂張跋扈 捐30億推動國防教育

Robert Tsao, the honorary chairperson of chipmaker United Microelectronics Corp.(aka UMC) , held a press conference in the morning on Aug. 5. He criticized China's behavior and announced that he will donate NT$3 billion in his own name to promote national defense education. 

Robert Tsaok, Honorary Chairperson, United Microelectronics Corporation: “I will donate NT$3 billion, or about US$100 million, to help strengthen Taiwan's national defense.”

Robert Tsao announced he will donate about US$100 million. Tsao, an honorary chairperson of the United Microelectronics Corporation, said that his donation was neither for fame nor profit. His NT$3 billion donations were initially conceived to support Taiwan's national defense, and he hoped others will join him in donating.

Robert Tsao, Honorary Chairperson, United Microelectronics Corporation: “I want to promote national defense education to boost people's morale and publish a book against China's psychological warfare against Taiwan. We will create all kinds of audio and video as countermeasures against the CCP's internet attacks against Taiwan, such as hacking and other activities.”

Tsao criticized China for being arrogant and domineering, and for using force with military exercises as a hooligan. He also said that this military exercise reveals three types of people in Taiwan: the "ostrich" faction, the surrender faction, and the reunification faction. He believes Taiwan citizens should vote for candidates who identify with Taiwan at the year-end local elections.

Robert Tsao, Honorary Chairperson, United Microelectronics Corporation: “The CCP is a lawless mafia organization, which masquerades as a normal country. So today some Taiwanese say we want to unify with him. Unify with whom? You are unifying with hooligans! Are you going to unify with the mafia? We have to draw a clear line with these unificationists. And we also hope at this year end's election everyone will closely inspect these candidates. Does each candidate identify with Taiwan? If he or she agrees with the CCP hooligans and identifies with them, don't vote for him or her.”

Tsao believes Taiwanese agricultural and seafood products will be affected by China's sanctions, but there will have little impact on Taiwan's electronics industry. Taiwan has the world's leading semiconductor industry, which will not change much in five to ten years. 

聯電榮譽董事長曹興誠表示：「將捐出30億新台幣大約1億美元，來協助加強國防。」

霸氣宣布，捐出約1億美金。聯電榮譽董事長曹興誠表示，他既不為名、也不為利，30億台幣捐款用途，初步構想，用來支助國防，更希望能達到拋磚引玉效果。

聯電榮譽董事長曹興誠表示：「推動全民國防教育提振民心士氣，出版反對中共對台認知作戰專書，及各類影音創作，開發反制中共對台網路攻擊，駭客入侵活動等等。」

曹興誠痛批中國囂張跋扈，軍演動武是流氓行為。還說認為藉由這次軍演，可看清台灣有3類人，有鴕鳥派、投降派、統一派。認為年底選戰，應該把票投給對台灣認同候選人。

聯電榮譽董事長曹興誠說：「中共是無法無天的黑社會組織，仿冒成一個正常國家，所以今天我們台灣人說要跟他統一，你跟誰統一？你跟流氓去統一，你跟黑社會去統一嗎？這些統派人士我們要跟他劃清界線，那我們也希望說，接下來選舉，大家檢驗這些候選人，他對於這個台灣認不認同，如果他認同流氓，認同這個黑社會組織，不要把票投給他。」

至於中國對台經濟制裁，曹興誠認為，農漁產品受影響，但對台灣電子業影響不大。而台灣半導體產業，全球領先地位，5到10年內，暫時不會有太大變化。
