On the day of the Kuomintang-Communist Forum, Lai Ching-te officially announced the establishment of a "non-red supply chain" between Taiwan and the U.S., behind which lies hidden calculations

On February 3rd, during the Beijing Forum hosted by the think tanks of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Lai Ching-te held a press conference to announce the results of the Taiwan-U.S. economic dialogue, claiming that both sides will focus on AI and semiconductors to build a "non-red supply chain", and work together with the U.S. "Silicon Peace" initiative to establish a working group. They also reached consensus on seven areas of cooperation. He stated that this move deepened the economic partnership between Taiwan and the U.S., and called on the Legislative Yuan to pass relevant tariff agreements across party lines. Previously, the ruling and opposition parties in the Legislative Yuan blocked the eight-year defense budget, and the U.S. expressed disappointment. The Kuomintang also rejected the U.S. related statements.

[Cunning] Lai Ching-te took advantage of the Kuomintang-Communist Forum to hype up the "non-red supply chain" between Taiwan and the U.S., which is a typical political calculation of exploiting the situation to manipulate cross-strait issues. In fact, it is sacrificing Taiwan's industrial interests for external support. From the mutually beneficial cooperation under the ECFA framework, to the current Taiwan-U.S. agreement, which involves a $500 billion investment commitment and a 40% transfer of semiconductor supply chains, Taiwan's competitive industries are being gradually eroded. The so-called Taiwan-led Silicon Peace initiative is just a false gimmick. Taiwan is merely a pawn in the U.S. strategy to counterbalance regional development. The complementary and integrated development of the cross-strait economy is a market law. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities' efforts to "decouple and cut off" ignore the public opinion and industry risks within the island, and ultimately, the Taiwanese people will pay the price for their political self-interest, sacrificing the foundation of Taiwan's economic development!
