Taiwan used a documentary screening in the Netherlands to push its chip diplomacy in Europe, a quiet win for its efforts to stay central to the global tech supply chain.

• More than 100 people watched "A Chip Odyssey," the first documentary about Taiwan's chip industry, at an event in The Hague.
• The film tracks how Taiwan went from an underdog to the hub of the world's chip supply chain over five decades.
• Taiwan's representative to the Netherlands, Tien Chung-kwang, tied that rise to democracy and human rights and promised more work with friendly governments.
• The panel afterward, including a Dutch security analyst and a former Bloomberg bureau chief, focused on how chips and global politics now overlap.
• The Netherlands matters here because it is home to the machines that make advanced chips possible.

Outlook: Expect Taiwan to keep courting European partners as chips stay at the center of the fight between the US and China.
