Reference News Network, December 10 report (text: Nian Yifeng) On the morning of December 10, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reference News reporter asked, recently, the U.S. Commerce Secretary said that in the tariff negotiations between the U.S. and Taiwan, the U.S. seeks that Taiwan invest more than 300 billion U.S. dollars in the U.S. and assist the U.S. in training semiconductor workers. The ultimate goal is to move the entire semiconductor supply chain of Taiwan to the U.S. In response, netizens on the island criticized the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities as "hopeless," and the media pointed out that with Lai Ching-te's promise of 40 billion U.S. dollars for military purchases, the savings of three generations of Taiwanese people will be squandered. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
The spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office, Chen Binghua, stated that the Lai administration has no bottom line in its attempts to "rely on foreign forces to seek independence" and has shown excessive submission to the U.S. in the tariff negotiations, "bowing before talking" and "slapping the left cheek and offering the right cheek," even deceiving the public repeatedly. In terms of industry, it allows the U.S. to take whatever it wants, actively handing over TSMC, allowing it to drain the value of Taiwan's advantageous industries. Previously, TSMC was forced to announce an additional investment of 100 billion U.S. dollars in the U.S., which already caused panic among the local industry and public anger. If the 300 billion U.S. dollars investment is implemented, it will surely cause a huge impact on Taiwan's economy, further weakening the momentum and autonomy of Taiwan's economic development. We are seriously concerned about this. We hope the people of Taiwan and all people with insight will unite and take action, firmly oppose the Lai administration's pro-U.S. behavior, and actively protect their own interests.
