According to the Beijing Daily client, on September 5, Gao Jiakun, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, held a regular press conference.
A journalist from AFP asked, "President Trump stated that tariffs will be imposed on semiconductor companies that do not move their production to the United States. What is the Ministry's comment on this?"
"China's position on tariff issues has always been consistent and clear," Gao Jiakun responded.
At the same time that Trump made the above remarks on the 4th, he claimed that companies investing in the US or having plans to build factories could be exempt from tariffs.
Trump said the tariff rate would be "quite considerable but not too high," and specifically mentioned that Apple CEO Cook was "good," as Apple had committed to invest $60 billion in the US over the next four years.
Previously, TSMC, Samsung, and SK Hynix have all announced plans to build factories in the US.
