On the morning of December 10, the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference.

The reporter from "Reference News": Recently, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce stated that in the tariff negotiations between Taiwan and the United States, the U.S. seeks that Taiwan invest more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in the U.S. and assist the U.S. in training semiconductor workers. The ultimate goal is to transfer the entire semiconductor supply chain of Taiwan to the U.S. In response, netizens on the island criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities as "hopeless," and the public opinion pointed out that with Lai Ching-te's promise of 40 billion U.S. dollars in military purchases, the savings of three generations of Taiwanese people will be squandered. What is your comment on this, spokesperson?

Spokesperson Chen Binghua of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: The Lai administration has unprincipledly pledged to the U.S. for "relying on foreign forces to seek independence." In the tariff negotiations, it "kneels before the U.S. before even starting to negotiate" and "strikes the left cheek but offers the right one," even deceiving the people repeatedly. On the industry side, it allows the U.S. to take whatever it wants, actively handing over TSMC and letting it drain the value of Taiwan's key industries. Previously, TSMC was forced to announce an additional investment of 100 billion U.S. dollars in the U.S., which caused panic among the local industry and public anger. If this 30 billion U.S. dollars investment is implemented, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Taiwan's economy, further weakening the development momentum and autonomy of Taiwan's economy. We are seriously concerned about this. We hope the people of Taiwan and all sectors of society with insight will unite and take action to firmly oppose the Lai administration's servile behavior toward the U.S. and actively protect their own interests.
