On February 12, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: US President Trump recently said that he would impose high tariffs on imports of computer chips and semiconductors, and once again said that 98% of chip business has gone to Taiwan, hoping that these industries will return to the United States. The DPP authorities said they will propose four "response measures" to "strengthen Taiwan-US industrial cooperation." What are your comments on this?
Spokeman Zhu Fenglian said that the US's practices on unilateralism and trade protectionism once again prove that the United States always pursues "American interests first." Facts have repeatedly proved that the more the DPP authorities "rely on the United States", the more they harm Taiwan. The so-called "countermeasures" are nothing more than "selling Taiwan to flatter the United States", which will only damage the foundation of Taiwan's industrial development and sacrifice the interests and well-being of the Taiwanese people.
