00:00:13very well, let's say goodbye now with a video, we say goodbye with
00:00:17a material because from August 13th to 20th
00:00:20I repeat the information from August 13th
00:00:23to 30th, Mexico will host
00:00:27the twentieth, the forty-fifth international
00:00:30film forum in the facilities of the Cineteca
00:00:33Nacional in Mexico City, which is a meeting with a
00:00:37firm commitment to creative freedom, innovation in narrative
00:00:41and the rescue of film memory. On August 30th
00:00:45the 45th international film forum will be held in Mexico,
00:00:48which will present a selection of
00:00:52alternative international films.
00:00:5514 audiovisuals will be
00:00:58screened at the headquarters of...
00:01:01where a large part of the future the Cineteca Nacional in Mexico City, all from
00:01:03Argentina, Bolivia, Canada,
00:01:07Cuba, Palestine, Iran, Portugal,
00:01:11among other countries that I cannot mention due to lack of
00:01:15time, these are
00:01:17GDP, the continuity of the fiction works of documentary type,
00:01:20as well as some hybrid films, audiovisual
00:01:23essays and much
00:01:24more.
00:03:10The map of global power is no longer drawn in
00:03:13kilometers, it is measured in nanometers. Today
00:03:17Taiwan is a niche superpower thanks
00:03:20to the multinational technology company for contract manufacturing
00:03:24and design of semiconductors, TSMC, which
00:03:28manufactures 90% of the cutting-edge chips
00:03:31that power artificial intelligence and military
00:03:35defense on the planet, a
00:03:39one of the biggest headaches in hyper-geographic concentration that has shaped the Pax Silicona,
00:03:43a geopolitical concept where the absolute dependence of the
00:03:46world on Taiwanese microchips
00:03:49acts as a deterrent handbrake
00:03:52that prevents an open war between
00:03:55superpowers, we will analyze this new global
00:03:59chessboard in this week's
00:04:15United States restricted the import of new robot
00:04:18vacuum cleaners, humanoids,
00:04:20tech, but in the physical control quadrupeds, and solar inverters, considering them an
00:04:23unacceptable risk to national security. The measure, pushed
00:04:28armed interdependence in under the Donald Trump administration, affects
00:04:31manufacturers like Robot Rock, Dream and iRobot. Washington
00:04:34asserts that these devices could collect data from analysts
00:04:40Chris Miller, American who warn that the decision also reinforces technological protectionism. China controls more than half of the market
00:04:44in new PlayStation releases, starting in January
00:04:472028, marking the end of more than three decades of an
00:04:51era in the video game industry. The company
00:04:54assures that the decision responds to the rapid migration to the digital market, where
00:04:58sales on the PlayStation Store already exceed 80% of the
00:05:01total. Titles published before that date will continue
00:05:05to be available in physical format. Players will stop buying a
00:05:09product to access a digital license subject to the
00:05:12platform's conditions, the availability of its servers
00:05:16and its pricing policy. The measure also impacts the second-hand
00:05:19market, the exchange and lending of games, in addition to
00:05:23posing new challenges for the preservation of digital heritage,
00:05:27consolidating a model where access to the catalog depends on avoiding
00:05:30errors, biases and harm to patients. The call was
00:05:34launched at the close of the international summit, to avoid errors, biases and
00:05:38harm to patients. The call was launched at the close of the
00:05:41international summit on artificial intelligence in health,
00:05:45held in Lisbon, during the meeting that brought together governments, medical
00:05:48personnel, regulators and industry. The WHO
00:05:52urged translating political commitments into clear norms for
00:05:55the use of this technology. The alert is based on its most recent
00:05:59evaluation of the 53 countries in the European region, although
00:06:0298% recognize the potential of artificial intelligence to
00:06:06improve medical care and two out of three already use it in
00:06:09diagnoses. Only 8% have
00:06:13a national strategy to regulate it. The WHO also warned
00:06:16that almost 40% of countries lack ethical guidelines and that
00:06:20the lack of preparation of health personnel could favor
00:06:23erroneous diagnoses and weaken trust in health
00:06:26systems.
00:09:13This is Atomun and if the peace of the world depended on
00:09:17a piece smaller than a grain of
00:09:19sand, currently Taiwan, a small
00:09:23island in the Pacific, has become an
00:09:27irreplaceable niche superpower,
00:09:30companies like Taiwan Semiconductor
00:09:33Manufacturing Company (TSMC)
00:09:37control more than 90% of the
00:09:40production of cutting-edge microchips,
00:09:43the physical and invisible engine behind
00:09:46artificial intelligence, supercomputing and autonomous
00:09:49defense systems of tomorrow, consequently,
00:09:53the map of power is no longer drawn
00:09:56only in land borders, but in integrated
00:10:00circuits, China, the United States and the
00:10:03European Union are playing for the destiny of the 21st
00:10:06century, in this silent chessboard that places strategic
00:10:10focus on Taiwan, let's start the engines
00:10:14of knowledge, ready to
00:10:17deploy this week's cognitive log,
00:10:20here's the material, travelers of
00:10:23knowledge.
00:10:32The international order of the 21st century no longer revolves only around
00:10:36oil or the dollar, today power is measured in nanometers and computing
00:10:40capacity. At the center of this new architecture is
00:10:43Taiwan, the most critical node in the global
00:10:46technological network. The island concentrates the manufacturing of the
00:10:49most advanced semiconductors on the planet. Essential for artificial
00:10:53intelligence, data centers, autonomous
00:10:56vehicles and military industry, its dominance in high-end
00:11:00chips has turned the Chinese island into a key point
00:11:04for global security, because technological sovereignty is no longer
00:11:07defined only by borders, but by who controls the infrastructure
00:11:11of knowledge and connectivity. In this scenario,
00:11:14China and the United States are fighting a strategic battle for technological
00:11:18hegemony. And at the center of that dispute, Taiwan
00:11:22consolidates itself as the epicenter,
00:11:26of artificial intelligence and global geopolitical balance
00:11:29is at stake. Beijing's decision to strengthen its local technology is not an
00:11:33isolated move, it is part of a strategy to protect its
00:11:36industry and the true core of global technological
00:11:39power, which is Taiwan today. Silicon has
00:11:43replaced oil as the axis of the new world order and
00:11:46Taiwan is its epicenter. Only one company, Taiwan
00:11:50Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) produces
00:11:52more than 90% of the
00:11:56most advanced microchips on the planet, essential for artificial
00:11:59intelligence, supercomputing and autonomous military
00:12:03systems, this dependence has created what is known
00:12:06as the silicon shield, the security of Taiwan no longer depends only
00:12:10on its defense, but on the world, especially the United
00:12:14States, needing its factories to continue operating to prevent a
00:12:17global fracture in the digital network, but how strong is
00:12:21China in the world compared to the self-proclaimed first economy in the world,
00:12:25like the United States. Let's review the following
00:12:28data.
00:12:34Historic shift in global trade.
00:12:3870% of global economies are already playing on China's
00:12:42team. 25 years ago, China
00:12:45traded with barely 15% of global trade, 30
00:12:49economies. In 2025,
00:12:52145 countries.
00:13:13In 2024, the United States bought 453
00:13:16billion
00:13:18from China. Digital
00:13:21power.
00:13:25Chips and smartphones used by the United States, while
00:13:28the United States only sold 145
00:13:31to China.
00:13:34What does the United States sell to China? Oil,
00:13:37gas, soybeans and aerospace
00:13:39technology.
00:13:42Debt duel. The US debt exceeds its gross
00:13:46domestic product, 115%,
00:13:49compared to 94% in China. Record
00:13:53military budget. 954 billion
00:13:57dollars make the United States the most expensive
00:14:00force in the world. The United States triples China's
00:14:04spending, which curbs at 336
00:14:07million.
00:14:10Electric market. China surpasses the United States by
00:14:13five to one in local sales. China controls
00:14:1750% of global rare earth
00:14:20reserves. China, 44 million
00:14:23tons, United States. 2 million
00:14:25tons. Artificial intelligence is no longer
00:14:29just software, it is, above all, a hardware
00:14:32challenge. Large language models and autonomous systems
00:14:36require chips with a transistor density that
00:14:39borders on the limits of physics. Only
00:14:42Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company today has the industrial
00:14:46capacity to mass produce 3-nanometer chips, the
00:14:49basis of the current artificial intelligence boom. This makes
00:14:52artificial intelligence the new engine
00:14:56of productivity and a key piece for the defense of the
00:15:00future, therefore, the pulse over Taiwan is no longer
00:15:03just geographical, it is the control of the pace of technological
00:15:07evolution on the planet, the West promotes a technological
00:15:10balkanization under the known dogma of reshoring or
00:15:14Taiwan +1, a strategy to diversify semiconductor
00:15:18production, the United States and the European Union
00:15:21allocate multi-million dollar subsidies to replicate part of the capacity.
00:15:30in regions like Arizona and various European hubs, but this
00:15:32strategy starts from a questionable premise that chip production
00:15:36can be transferred as if it were just a set of
00:15:39factories, in reality it depends on a much more complex network of
00:15:42critical and sensitive materials, in this
00:15:45scenario, the Pax Silicona becomes
00:15:48fragile, global stability depends as much on technology
00:15:52as on the network that sustains it, the global concentration of these
00:15:55semiconductors could alter their production with immediate and
00:15:58profound impacts on the economy and international security,
00:16:02especially between the United States and China. In this context, the
00:16:06technological dispute is not limited to markets.
00:16:09In diplomatic meetings between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump in May 2026,
00:16:13recent ones, among the main powers, artificial intelligence
00:16:16and semiconductors have come to occupy the real center of
00:16:20negotiations, even above traditional trade, in a
00:16:24scenario marked by energy tensions and new global
00:16:28dependency chains, in an analogous way to the logic of
00:16:31mutually assured destruction of the Cold War. The global dependence on the
00:16:35semiconductor industry in Taiwan
00:16:37acts today as a systemic brake on conflict. The current tension in
00:16:41the Taiwan Strait could paralyze part of the global
00:16:45digital infrastructure and generate an economic impact estimated at more
00:16:49than 10 trillion dollars. Nearly 10% of global
00:16:55technological economy largely depends on the manufacturing plants
00:16:58in Taipei operating without interruptions. In this
00:17:02context, global power is no longer defined only by borders,
00:17:05but by the control of chip supply chains, where
00:17:09Taiwan plays a central role in production that sustains everything
00:17:13from artificial intelligence to global financial systems,
00:17:16facing this concentration, China, the United States
00:17:19and the European Union deploy different strategies to ensure their
00:17:23access and reduce their dependence on the silicon
00:17:25ecosystem.
00:17:33China, absorption and immunization.
00:17:37Shielding, one China and artificial
00:17:41intelligence control, rear
00:17:44shielding, mandatory
00:17:4750% national machinery,
00:17:50shielding, mature
00:17:54chips immune to
00:17:55sanctions.
00:17:58United States, reshoring and mistrust.
00:18:02Priority, advanced chips for military
00:18:06economic survival. Moving factories,
00:18:09subsidies to bring TSMC to the United
00:18:12States, Risk, dismantling
00:18:15of Taipei's silicon shield. Double
00:18:18challenge, military security or technological
00:18:21control.
00:18:25European Union. Autonomy and
00:18:27resilience. Zero blockages in the automotive
00:18:31sector. Chip Law. Funding TSMC
00:18:34plants in Germany.
00:18:38Local supply, industrial chips
00:18:41secured, shielding: elevating the
00:18:44supply chain to state security.
00:18:47Blockade: stopping the shipment of silicon to
00:18:50Beijing. In this scenario, the dispute over artificial
00:18:53intelligence is often described as a software
00:18:57and algorithm race in Silicon Valley, Europe or
00:19:00China, but this narrative omits a key point, all this digital
00:19:04competition depends on a highly concentrated physical base in
00:19:07chip manufacturing, artificial intelligence has returned the
00:19:11global economy to a material reality, the advantage is
00:19:14not only in who develops better algorithms, but in
00:19:18who controls or replicates the most complex and sensitive supply
00:19:22chain of the current
00:19:23technological system.
00:19:29The true battle front of artificial intelligence is not
00:19:32in code, but in silicon, given that
00:19:36AI is already the core of global logic, the domain of the
00:19:39microchip is today the control of the
00:19:42future,
00:19:47Pax Silica is the geopolitical order of the 21st
00:19:50century where global stability and technological
00:19:53supremacy are not decided in the software of big
00:19:58of advanced semiconductor foundries in Taiwan, this
00:20:02concept defines an era of
00:20:05which international power does not reside in traditional
00:20:08treaties, but in the ability to secure or restrict
00:20:12latest generation silicon, a delicate material
00:20:15balance where sovereignty over frontier hardware
00:20:19is the definitive filter that dictates the pace of artificial
00:20:22intelligence evolution, therefore geopolitical power
00:20:25is no longer measured in nuclear warheads or in the elegance
00:20:29of an algorithm, but in the physical sovereignty over
00:20:32silicon. The new global diplomacy is material, it reduces
00:20:35the absolute capacity to secure.
00:20:56The South American giant is in constant
00:20:59evolution. Join Beto Almeida and his

00:22:04the world from the south, I'll tell you,
00:22:07we take you beyond the news, we take you to the events that set the
00:22:11trend, because Telesur always gives
00:22:14more.
00:22:56Crossing the frontier of the known is not enough,
00:22:59now we infiltrate the very fabric of the
00:23:02cosmos, from the sufficient,
00:23:05now we infiltrate the very fabric of the
00:23:08cosmos, from the. During its ascent up Mount
00:23:12Sharp, the vehicle captured a 360-degree
00:23:15panoramic view that revealed this geometric pattern
00:23:18formed by cells between 4 and 8 cm. Far
00:23:22from being a visual curiosity, these structures
00:23:25function as an authentic geological archive, preserving the
00:23:29traces of climatic changes in early Mars. If the analyses
00:23:33confirm that these polygons formed during cycles of
00:23:36extreme desiccation. Scientists will be one step closer
00:23:39to reconstructing how Mars went from being a wet world to an
00:23:43icy
00:23:43desert.
00:23:48If you thought that artificial intelligence was only used
00:23:52to make viral images or solve last-minute tasks,
00:23:56this could change everything. Imagine a world where ships,
00:23:59planes and trucks no longer depend on oil,
00:24:03but on hydrogen, and computer science could
00:24:06lower its production, bringing us closer to a
00:24:09future where carbon dioxide is only part of the
00:24:13past, although it may be hard to believe, from
00:24:16silicon we will move to hydrogen.
00:24:25A team of researchers has solved
00:24:29green hydrogen production, the rapid degradation of its
00:24:32components. By using vanadium, they managed to stabilize
00:24:36ruthenium in extremely acidic environments, surpassing
00:24:403 hours of continuous use in resistance tests without any
00:24:44deterioration. The most valuable aspect of the research
00:24:47is its methodology. Instead of spending years testing materials in the
00:24:50laboratory through trial and error, scientists combined
00:24:54data mining and computer modeling to predict the
00:24:58success of the experiment. This new approach will accelerate the
00:25:01design of critical hardware in the short term in strategic
00:25:05sectors such as high-energy density batteries, efficient
00:25:09carbon dioxide capture and synthesis of alternative
00:25:13fuels.
00:25:18The new global geopolitical technological order will be marked
00:25:21by the following premise: whoever controls Taiwan
00:25:25will dominate the pace of the 21st century. In this regard,
00:25:30historian and author of the work, The Chip War: The Fight
00:25:33for the World's Most Critical Technology, points out that
00:25:37almost all data processing in the world depends on an
00:25:40extraordinarily interconnected network, but at its
00:25:42center there is a strategic bottleneck, no
00:25:46region in the world produces more cutting-edge
00:25:50chips than Taiwan, if access to the island were
00:25:54compromised, the global economic paralysis would
00:25:57far exceed the impact of the Great
00:26:00Depression, and with this reflection,
00:27:13Hello, good afternoon, welcome to a new round of Telesur News, we
00:27:17greet you with the sign language interpretation of Elvis Torres
00:27:21and I am Evelyn Guarenas, narrating the news,
00:27:24we start right away with our
00:27:26headlines.
00:27:41Delegations from more than 25 countries debate in the fourth continental
00:27:44assembly of Alba Movements, the crisis of Capitalism
00:27:48to the Monroe Doctrine and the advance of fascism in the region.
