A Chinese mainland spokesman on Thursday slammed Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities for selling out and harming Taiwan's interests by bowing down to recent U.S. economic proposals on semiconductor industry, warning that the DPP should not sacrifice Taiwan's advantageous industries.
Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the remarks at a regular press briefing in Beijing in response to a media query on the "50-50" split in semiconductor production proposal from the United States.
"The integrated circuit industry had always been Taiwan's most competitive core strength, but now it has been reduced to a 'vulnerable sector' at the mercy of U.S. exploitation and plunder," Chen said.
The root problem lies in the DPP authorities' pursuit of seeking Taiwan secession by soliciting foreign support , which has led them to blindly pander to the United States without principles and betray Taiwan's interests without any regard to the bottom line, Chen said.
"The United States has persistently used tariffs and other coercive means to force the hollowing out of Taiwan's industries. The DPP authorities, prioritizing their own partisan interests, completely disregard the welfare of Taiwan businesses and residents, and obstinately sacrifice competitive sectors like the semiconductor industry," Chen said.
Chen emphasized that such actions will inevitably lead to a diversion of capital, technology, and talent from the island to the United States, gravely jeopardizing the development of Taiwan's industries.
