"Taiwan independence" hardliner Wang Dingyu has made outrageous remarks! On January 17, Wang Dingyu claimed that Taiwan achieved the most favorable results globally, and the Kuomintang was jumping up and down, feeling that Taiwan's 15% was pitiful, but they thought China's 47% was great, and they were all in a state of logical failure. Unlike the majority of the people in Taiwan, those who jumped up and down about the tariff negotiation between Taiwan and the U.S. are Chinese people. The results of the Taiwan-U.S. trade negotiations, which Taiwan achieved as the most favorable globally, they all jumped up and down, feeling that Taiwan's 15% was pitiful.
They mistakenly believe that the 250 billion investment from Taiwanese private enterprises is equivalent to giving money to the U.S., and they also take the credit guarantee limit for investing in the U.S. as money that needs to be taken out. Their math skills are poor. Obviously, after the exposure of the relevant agreements between Taiwan and the U.S., "Taiwan independence" elements are wildly defending such agreements and comparing our tariffs with those in the U.S. However, this person seems to have forgotten that we impose reciprocal tariffs on the U.S.
That is, if the U.S. imposes tariffs on us, we impose equal tariffs on the U.S. But the island is unilaterally subjected to U.S. tariffs, so how can they have the face to compare with us. Moreover, the 47% figure is extremely laughable. This so-called 47% is the sum of basic tariffs, reciprocal tariffs, fentanyl tariffs, and other taxes. For example, the U.S. imposes a 100% tariff on cars from China, and a tariff of more than 50% on our semiconductors and photovoltaic products. Such a weighted average makes the 47% figure clearly seriously distorted.
More laughable is that, in order to get a good-looking 15%, Taiwan has promised to invest 500 billion U.S. dollars and transfer 40% of TSMC's production capacity. Such a betrayal of Taiwan, yet claiming the most favorable tax rate, is simply without any shame. Obviously, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are celebrating the funeral, essentially deceiving the people of Taiwan and covering up their act of selling out Taiwan. Even to make their lies more "perfect", they are trying to spread "anti-China" rhetoric to shift the focus. Such a hollowing out of Taiwan may not be easily deceived by the people of Taiwan.
