Taiwan is a very important island because it produces many chips.

But this energy problem has shown everyone a simple fact: without electricity, without natural gas, and without oil, even the most advanced technology cannot work properly.

Most of Taiwan's energy has to be bought from outside. If the ships carrying energy arrive late, factories may stop working, and hospitals and schools will also be affected.

The United States has always supported Taiwan and sold weapons to Taiwan, but weapons cannot generate electricity or keep factories running.

In times of tension, whoever can provide energy and help more quickly will have greater influence.
