The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand on Saturday asked Thais to watch the documentary film A Chip Odyssey during its local premiere. The documentary explores the intensifying global "chip war" and examines how Taiwan -- a small island with few natural resources -- has emerged as a critical centre of global technology. The documentary underscores that behind every chip lies a human story, and behind every success, a generational gamble. As global reliance on AI-driven technologies grows, Taiwan's semiconductor industry has become both an economic linchpin and a strategic shield. The documentary ultimately conveys a central belief shared by its subjects: Taiwan's survival depends on competing -- and winning -- on the global stage.
