The Taiwan authorities were completely furious and sent a letter to the US government, issuing the sternest warning to the United States.

Facing the bullying from the United States, the usual approach of the Taiwan authorities has been to endure. They endure what they can and even try to endure what they cannot. For instance, in the face of US tariff oppression, Tsai Ing-wen immediately surrendered, clearly indicating her willingness to meet American demands and promising to increase investment in the US. However, this time, the US directly made the most important enterprise of the Taiwan authorities, TSMC,急躁and also made the Taiwan authorities急躁.

Taiwan's China Times reported on May 24 that the subsidiary of TSMC in Arizona, USA, recently submitted an opinion letter to the US Department of Commerce. The letter emphasized the significant contributions made by TSMC's investment in the US, such as expected to generate $200 billion in indirect economic benefits and create tens of thousands of positions in semiconductor manufacturing and R&D, etc. TSMC plans to invest $165 billion in the US, which will include building six advanced process wafer fabs, two advanced packaging factories, and one research and development center.

However, the US remains unsatisfied and wants to impose high tariffs on the chips and other products of the Taiwan authorities. The Taiwan authorities and TSMC have "clearly warned Washington that if it insists on imposing import tariffs on chips, TSMC may even cancel its investment plan." It is obvious that this time, the Taiwan authorities have really been pushed to the limit. They have truly reached the point of no return. The Taiwan authorities have issued the sternest warning to the US, threatening not to invest at all.

Can the Taiwan authorities be tough until the end? At present, it still seems very difficult. The Taiwan authorities are only expressing their dissatisfaction through this method, but they actually have no cards in hand and can only be held hostage by the US. If the Taiwan authorities are smart, they should actively align with the mainland and achieve reunification with the motherland. Then, no country would dare to bully TSMC.
