台積電創辦人張忠謀出席工商協進會會員大會，以「重新定義全球化」為題發表演講。他說，現在國家安全、科技與經濟領先的重要性已凌駕全球化，全球化的新定義是在不傷害國家安全、不傷害本國現在或未來科技經濟領先的條件下，允許本國企業在國外牟利，也允許外國產業及服務進入本國，他反問，「這還能算全球化嗎？」

Taiwan experienced nation-wide blackouts in 2021 and 2022. The Control Yuan filed a correction case against the Taiwan Power Company and impeached eight people. The report indicated that in order to alleviate the pressure on the power supply system, Taipower operated gas turbine units of the second and third nuclear power plants, which was intended for emergency use, and implemented demand bidding measures. During the 18 months from 2020 to October 2022, it was used for power peaks or when large-scale units experience trip breakers. Exceptions to adopt these emergency mechanisms became the norm, and such power generation was not included in the electricity annual report. This case of "black electricity" should be reviewed and improved.
