The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have tried to sacrifice the prosperity of Taiwan's semiconductor industry for their own political interests, said Zhu Fenglian, a spokeswoman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office in Beijing on Wednesday.
Zhu made the remark at a press briefing in response to a media inquiry on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) plan to build Japan's first factory capable of manufacturing 3-nanometer chips in the country's Kumamoto prefecture.
"The DPP authorities see TSMC as a tool to please and show loyalty to the United States and Japan. They are harming the prosperity of Taiwan's semiconductor industry and the people in Taiwan to gain political interests for themselves," said Zhu.

China will, as always, provide assistance and help to Cuba to the best of its ability, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
Lin made the remarks in response to a media inquiry about what form of assistance China would provide to Cuba amid fuel shortages.
"China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and security, opposes external interference, and resolutely condemns any act and inhumane behavior to deprive the Cuban people of their rights to survival and development. China will, as always, provide support and assistance within its capacity to Cuba. As for the specific content of the assistance, it is recommended to consult with the competent authorities. I believe this also requires the two sides to negotiate through bilateral channels," he reiterated.
