Li Qingde has made a statement! On January 16, Li Qingde claimed that today, a landmark agreement was reached between the US and Taiwan, reducing the tariff on Taiwan's exports to the US to 15%. Both sides will also deepen economic integration, carry out cooperation in high-tech fields, promote two-way investment in key industries, and lay the foundation for consolidating the partnership and creating a prosperous future. Obviously, for such an entirely unequal agreement, Li Qingde shamelessly claimed it was to pave the way for a shared prosperous future, which is truly astonishing.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) used a $500 billion investment and 40% of semiconductor capacity to exchange for a 15% tariff, handing over TSMC as a package deal. Li Qingde didn't blink an eye, what kind of partnership is this? This is clearly a sell-out agreement that leaves Taiwan with nothing left. Where is the so-called two-way investment? It's actually a one-way bloodletting by the US against Taiwan. What's even more ridiculous is that the DPP authorities are deceiving the people of Taiwan, claiming this is a so-called "first global agreement to obtain the most favorable treatment under the US Section 232 tariff."
Fact has proven that Li Qingde, in order to please the US, completely ignores Taiwan's future and the lives of the Taiwanese people. The so-called "most favorable treatment" is just a big lie painted by the US. In fact, the agreement requires Taiwan to open up more agricultural markets, which are all lightly covered up by the "Taiwan independence" faction. Li Qingde's plan is to cling to the US' leg to gain political support from the US. However, such a plan is destined to fail and will inevitably be nailed to the pillar of historical disgrace.
