美前議員蓋拉格:若中國犯台 美國AI產業恐遭毀滅性衝擊

美國前眾議員蓋拉格在《華爾街日報》撰文指出,台灣在半導體供應鏈的關鍵地位,讓台海安全與美國AI競爭緊密相連,若北京封鎖或入侵台灣,美國AI研發與資料中心建設恐停滯。

Quick Look

美國前眾議員蓋拉格投書《華爾街日報》警告,台灣為全球先進半導體樞紐,若中國發動封鎖或入侵,美國AI產業將面臨研發停滯與供應鏈斷絕的嚴重衝擊,美方應將台灣防衛納入半導體與AI戰略。

Why It Matters

美國前眾議員蓋拉格透過投書分析,將中國可能攻台的「戴維森窗口」與AI快速發展的「達里奧窗口」結合,指出台海安全與美國AI優勢密不可分。

〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕中國若對台灣發動封鎖或入侵,美國AI產業可能遭受何種衝擊?《華爾街日報》24日刊登專欄評論,美國聯邦眾議院「美中戰略競爭特別委員會」首任主席、前威斯康辛州共和黨眾議員蓋拉格(Mike Gallagher)認為,台灣在先進半導體供應鏈的關鍵地位,已讓台海安全與美國AI競爭產生更直接的連結。

目前擔任美國數據分析公司帕蘭泰爾(Palantir Technologies)國防業務主管、哈德遜研究所(Hudson Institute)特聘研究員的蓋拉格,在專欄中以「假想的2028年」為情境,描繪若北京先對台灣實施海上封鎖、進而發動入侵,美國可能面臨前沿AI研發停滯、資料中心建設凍結及金融市場劇烈下跌。

他認為,台海衝突一旦發生,可能直接波及美國目前高度依賴台灣先進晶片製造能力的AI產業。

評論中,蓋拉格引用美軍前印太司令戴維森(Philip Davidson)2021年向國會提出的評估,將中國可能具備攻台能力的2027年視為「戴維森窗口」(Davidson window),指的是外界常討論的中國攻台風險時間帶;他並援引Anthropic執行長阿莫迪(Dario Amodei)對AI能力快速提升的警告,進一步把這段AI快速發展形成的時間壓力稱為「達里奧窗口」(Dario window)。

蓋拉格認為,這兩個時間軸正在接近,並據此分析AI競爭與台海安全可能產生的連動。

美國晶片仍得送回台灣封裝

蓋拉格進一步形容台灣是美國AI供應鏈的「單一故障點」(single point of failure)。他指出,台積電生產全球約90%的最先進半導體及約60%的全部半導體;即使輝達(Nvidia)Blackwell晶片已在台積電亞利桑那州廠量產,部分美國製造的晶片仍需送回台灣完成封裝。

蓋拉格指出,台積電已宣布在亞利桑那州布局先進封裝設施,但相關產能預計要到2029年才能到位。

蓋拉格最後主張,美國應把台灣防衛納入AI與半導體戰略,加速清理對台軍售積案、簡化軍售程序,並預先準備金融制裁應變措施,同時深化與日本及荷蘭的半導體合作。他也反對美中共同放慢AI研發步調,主張美國維持AI競爭優勢。

The national army produced thousands of Xiongfeng missiles in five years but only fired 25 of them? Military reveals the truth behind "less but better" strategy

Taiwan has accelerated the production of more than 1,000 Hsiung Feng series missiles in the past five years, but the number actually launched in previous exercises has only been about 15 to 25. The military stated that this move was to prevent the Communist army from calculating life expectancy and save the defense budget, and to use a scientific re-examination mechanism to maintain combat readiness levels.

The U.S. Navy's "Blackbeard" hypersonic missile achieves lift-off flight with an F/A-18E/F mount

The U.S. Navy's new "Blackbeard" hypersonic missile has been successfully mounted under the wing of the F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" fighter aircraft and achieved flight, demonstrating the rapid progress of weapons integration. The missile was developed by Castelion Company and aims at low-cost mass production. The US military plans to form early combat capabilities in 2027 and has ordered hundreds of pre-mass production prototype missiles, which will be incorporated into defense export capabilities for procurement by allies in the future.

The U.S. military's key missile inventory faces dual challenges of insufficient reliability and accelerated production increase

The U.S. military's AIM-9X Sidewinder Block II missile operational availability rate is not up to standard, with only 58% for the Air Force and 78% for the Navy, affecting pilot training. At the same time, the U.S. military is accelerating the expansion of AGM-158 JASSM and LRASM production capacity, with an annual production target of 1,880 pieces in 2032. However, the JASSM maintenance problem is not expected to be resolved until 2029. Lockheed Martin is expanding more than 20 production facilities in five states and launching a modular FLEX version.
