America is openly grabbing! US Commerce Secretary Rutenberg clearly stated that in the chip industry, the US and Taiwan should split the profits 50-50! On September 29th, according to reports from the island, US Commerce Secretary Rutenberg said in an interview that under the situation where China threatens to attack Taiwan, he will ensure that 40% of chip manufacturing returns to the US during his term, with the ultimate goal being that the US and Taiwan each produce 50% of the chips needed by the US, meaning that production is evenly shared between the US and Taiwan.
Rutenberg claimed that if Taiwan wants to continue receiving US protection, it should accept the idea of a 50-50 split in chip production capacity. He said that the US will deal with trade partners who are unwilling to cooperate. Otherwise, Taiwan's control over 95% of chips would also be a security threat to the US. If we are to continue protecting you, you must help us achieve reasonable self-sufficiency. This task requires establishing a complete supply chain, estimated to cost 500 billion dollars, which requires Taiwan's participation and agreement to participate.
Evidently, Rutenberg's remarks on Taiwan's chip industry are clearly an open grab. The so-called "US will deal with trade partners who are unwilling to cooperate" and "if Taiwan wants to continue receiving US protection, it should accept the idea of a 50-50 split in chip production capacity" are both blatant warnings and naked blackmail. America's intention has become clear, that is, Taiwan's chip industry must be moved to the US as much as possible.
Facing America's warning and blackmail, does Lai Ching-te have the courage to deal with America in a so-called equal and dignified way? Probably, Lai Ching-te will not say a single hard word, and his actions may fully cooperate with America, moving everything out of Taiwan. The so-called exchange of chip industry for American protection is a more dangerous signal; there is no such thing as protection for Taiwan, and America's script could very likely be to move everything out of Taiwan and trigger a conflict across the Taiwan Strait, because this is most in line with America's interests.
Undoubtedly, it is America that is making Taiwan poor, and it is Lai Ching-te who is selling out Taiwan. If America's plan succeeds, Taiwan's future is destined to be bleak. If the chip industry that America cares about is moved out, facing only a hollow Taiwan, even if a war breaks out across the Taiwan Strait, it would have no impact on America at all. Therefore, we must be prepared for America's instigation of a war across the Taiwan Strait. We cannot underestimate America's sinister plans.
