In a recent public speech, Robert Tsao (Cao Xingcheng), founder of United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), the world’s second-largest semiconductor foundry, described the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as a sort of “zombie virus” when it erodes humanity, and said its attempts to forcibly unify Taiwan would bring disaster to the world.
In an August 8 interview with Taiwan-based Formosa TV, Tsao wore a bullet-proof vest and had a steel helmet with him, as metaphors for topics related to safeguarding the individual and the nation.
