Yesterday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Rutenberg told CNBC reporters: "Taiwanese chip companies that do not build factories in the United States will face a 100% tariff penalty. The U.S. aims to transfer 40% of Taiwan's semiconductor supply chain to the U.S. domestic market. The 'preferential terms' we offer (a reduction of 20% tariffs to 15%) are intended to protect Taiwan's semiconductor supply chain from threats!"
[Cunning] Rutenberg's rhetoric is truly turning bullying into justice! A 100% tariff is a threat, and a 5% tariff concession is a "blessing." It is also called protecting Taiwan's supply chain. This approach is similar to the way in which the powers once forced open commercial ports. He opens his mouth and demands to move 40% of Taiwan's semiconductor vital points, taking by force and pretending to be kind. TSMC has suffered huge losses in the U.S., but the Democratic Progressive Party is busy submitting loyalty pledges, willing to hand over the foundations of the island's industry to others. This absurd protection is merely a pretext for the U.S. to take advantage of Taiwan and fill its own gaps. In the end, it only ruins Taiwan and enriches the U.S.!
