BANGKOK: Taiwan's representative to APEC<\/a> said on Saturday he had a brief but \"happy\" chat with Chinese President Xi Jinping at a summit in Bangkok, a rare high-level interaction, and also discussed semiconductors<\/a> with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
APEC is one of the few international organisations Chinese-claimed Taiwan is a member of, as Beijing - which views it as a Chinese province and not a country - blocks its participation at most others.
Tensions between Taipei and Beijing have risen since China staged war games near the democratically-governed island in August after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited.
Speaking to reporters in Bangkok, Morris Chang, also the founder of Taiwanese chip giant TSMC<\/a>, said he had talked to Xi on Friday.
\"We asked after each, and I congratulated him on the success of the Communist Party's 20th Congress,\" Chang said, referring to last month's event in Beijing at which Xi secured an unprecedented third term in office.
\"It was a very happy, polite interaction,\" he added, but said tensions across the Taiwan Strait were not discussed.
APEC has traditionally been one the few forums where China and Taiwan talk, even if just in passing for pleasantries.
China cut off a formal talks mechanism with Taiwan after President Tsai Ing-wen first won office in 2016, believing her to be a separatist, which she denies.
While Chang is now retired from TSMC, he remains influential as the elder statesman of Taiwan's chip industry, and said he had discussed the company's new $12 billion plant in the U.S. state of Arizona with Harris at a separate meeting on the summit's sidelines.
Chang said he told Harris that Taiwan had already invited U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to a \"tool-in\" ceremony for TSMC's plant in Arizona on Dec. 6, though production is not starting immediately.
At last year's virtual APEC summit, Chang appeared to criticise the United States and China over their efforts to become self-sufficient at making semiconductors, saying this would drive up costs and limit technological advances.
Speaking in Bangkok, Chang said while the cost of making chips<\/a> in the United States was higher than Taiwan by at least 50%, this did not \"exclude\" shifting some production to the United States, which is Taiwan's most important international backer and arms supplier.
TSMC is also building a plant in Japan, another APEC member, and Chang hinted other countries were in consideration.
\"TSMC could be considering other places also, but I will not talk about any details now.\"
Taiwan participates at APEC as \"Chinese Taipei\", the same name it uses to take part in the Olympics and some other events.

台湾亚太经合组织代表了中国,谈到与哈里斯芯片
亚太经合组织是为数不多的国际组织中国宣传占领台湾的一员,在北京——认为它是中国的一个省,不是一个国家——块其参与最多。

曼谷:台湾的代表亚太经合组织周六说他有一个短暂而“幸福”聊天与中国习近平副主席在曼谷举行的一次峰会上,一种罕见的高层互动,也进行了讨论半导体与美国副总统卡玛拉哈里斯。
亚太经合组织是为数不多的国际组织中国宣传占领台湾的一员,在北京——认为它是中国的一个省,不是一个国家——块其参与最多。
台北与北京之间的紧张关系已自8月中国实行民主管理岛附近举行军事演习后,美国众议院议长佩洛西(Nancy Pelosi)访问。
对记者说在曼谷,张忠谋,台湾芯片巨头的创始人台积电星期五说,他已经跟习。
“我们问每次,我祝贺他的成功20国会,共产党的“Chang说,指的是上个月的事件在北京这习了前所未有的第三个任期。
“这是一个非常幸福的,礼貌的互动,”他补充说,但他说海峡两岸紧张局势并没有讨论。
亚太经合组织历来是为数不多的几个论坛,中国大陆和台湾谈话,即使只是顺便的客套话。
中国切断与台湾正式会谈机制2016年蔡英文首次当选总统后,认为她是一个分裂,她对此予以否认。
虽然张现在退出台积电,但他仍然有影响力的台湾芯片行业的元老,并说他已经讨论了公司的价值120亿美元的新工厂在美国亚利桑那州与哈里斯在一个单独的会议上峰会的间隙。
Chang说,他告诉哈里斯说,台湾已经邀请美国商务部长吉娜Raimondo“工具”仪式在12月6日,台积电在亚利桑那州的工厂虽然生产不是立即开始。
在去年的虚拟亚太经合组织峰会上,常出现批评美国和中国在他们的努力在半导体上自给自足,说这将推高成本,限制技术的进步。
在曼谷,Chang说,虽然制作的成本芯片在美国高于台湾至少50%,这并不“排除”将部分生产转移到美国,这是台湾最重要的国际支持者和武器供应商。
台积电在日本也建立一个工厂,另一个亚太经合组织成员,常暗示其他国家都在考虑。
“台积电也可以考虑其他地方,但现在我不会谈论任何细节。”
台湾参加亚太经合组织为“中国台北”,它使用相同的名称参加奥运会和其他一些活动。
