〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕台積電在美國投資創紀錄的2650億美元,為了支持台積電在鳳凰城北部快速擴張,許多人從台灣移居亞利桑那州。美媒kjzz鳳凰城報導,來自台灣的餐廳店主如何讓道地的台灣美食「軟著陸」,並紓解台積電員工的生活壓力。而台灣與鳳凰城的聯繫則可追溯到1979年;鳳凰城市長和亞利桑那州參議員等人,也指出台積電的投資和生產對美國和世界的重要性。
2020年,台積電首輪投資120億美元,目前位於17號州際公路和303環路交匯處的一家工廠已經投產運作。現在,台積電劃建造總共12個用於製造、先進包裝和研發的設施。從台積電園區往南大約15分鐘路程,就是CactiFlower餐廳,這是一家專門供應台灣家常菜的餐廳。

店主伊莉莎白‧休布施(Elizabeth Heubusch)帶記者走進廚房,看著她做一道叫做滷肉飯的菜。這道菜是用五花肉蓋在米飯上,她還在旁邊加了一個煎蛋和一些海苔。
伊莉莎白說:「毫不妥協的台灣美食,讓人們在品嚐時感到賓至如歸,從擺盤到外觀、氣味,一切的一切,對我們來說都是一種完整的體驗」。她說:「有時候他們下班後會來,並說:『我只想吃點家鄉的味道。我今天過得很糟糕』」。
伊莉莎白的童年大部分時間是在台灣度過的。現在她住在鳳凰城,在那裡她正在努力發展自己的事業,以滿足該市日益增長的台灣裔人口的需求。她希望為來自台灣的移民提供一個文化上的軟著陸點。
伊莉莎白表示,隨著越來越多的台灣人在鳳凰城獲得新的機會,她希望自己的餐廳能成為台灣人和美國人之間的文化橋樑。
此外,開發商也在努力滿足不斷增長的社區需求。Halo Vista是一個擬建的佔地2300英畝的開發項目,計劃毗鄰台積電園區,項目內容包括住宅、餐飲和購物。
今年夏天,台灣政府宣布計劃在鳳凰城開設文化經濟辦事處,為亞利桑那州的台灣公民提供領事服務。
台積電或許是亞利桑那州和台灣之間日益密切關係的催化劑,但鳳凰城市長凱特·加列戈(Kate Gallego)表示,兩地政府之間的聯繫可以追溯到幾十年前。台灣首都台北和鳳凰城於1979年結為姊妹城市。
在1970年代,亞利桑那州早期對台灣蓬勃發展的工業部門表現出濃厚的興趣。同時,加列戈表示,亞利桑那州也希望放鬆與中國的連結。
亞利桑那州商務廳廳長桑德拉·沃森(Sandra Watson)表示,在2008年房地產危機後,該州尋求經濟多元化發展,領導人再次將目光投向了台灣。沃森說,她2013年首次造訪台積電,是該州提升半導體製造能力措施的一部分。
從那時起,台積電生產的這類電腦晶片的經濟和地緣政治價值就不斷增長。沃森表示,光是在過去三年裡,台灣和亞利桑那州之間的貿易額就從30億美元躍升至210億美元以上。沃森說:「因此,在很短的時間內,我們看到這些交易數量顯著增加」。
人工智慧目前是美國經濟成長的主要驅動力,科技公司已在人工智慧基礎設施方面投入數十億美元。亞利桑那州參議員馬克凱利(Mark Kelly)表示,這使得獲得台積電晶片比以往任何時候都更加重要。「如果我們在台灣失去台積電半導體晶片的供應,據估計,我們可能會在一兩年內損失10%的國內生產總值(GDP)」,凱利說。
凱利發起了《晶片與科學法案》,該法案旨在為支持國內電腦晶片生產提供資金。他表示,這關乎國家安全,因為中國已加大對台灣的軍事壓力。

Data from the French National Institute of Statistics and Economics show that as of the end of the second quarter of this year, France’s total public debt rose to 3.5955 billion euros, accounting for 119% of GDP, setting a new high in recent years. Debt increased by 59.6 billion euros in the second quarter of this year. French officials believe that the rising debt ratio is mainly due to the public fiscal deficit, and next year's deficit target of 5% of GDP has been unable to be achieved due to the economic downturn, which is far higher than the EU's 3% upper limit. The French government plans to borrow 340 billion euros next year to support government spending and repay maturing debt, an increase of about 28 billion euros from this year. Public opinion generally believes that the government is facing huge pressure to cut expenditures. Prime Minister Le Corny's proposed 54 billion euros savings plan may affect the salaries of public employees, causing dissatisfaction. The French public sector held strikes and demonstrations on the 29th to oppose austerity policies. The Ministry of the Interior said that about 200,000 people participated in the demonstration that day.

Egg prices in China have risen significantly recently, with the national average price reaching 11.83 yuan/kg in the third week of September, a year-on-year increase of 28.2%. The price increase is mainly driven by production capacity reduction on the supply side, rising feed costs, and increased demand for Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day stockings on the consumer side. Despite rising prices, eggs are still in urgent demand and have limited impact on daily consumption. The market is expected to see a seasonal correction after the holidays.
