针对美国总统特朗普声称台积电将在美投资3000亿美元并建立最大晶圆厂一事,国台办发言人朱凤莲表示,此前台积电在美增资已引发岛内恐慌。若3000亿美元投资落地,将对台湾经济造成巨大影响,削弱其发展动能和自主性。国台办批评民进党当局在产业上对美国予取予求,主动奉送台积电,无心维护台湾经济发展和民众福祉,并呼吁其悬崖勒马,台湾各界应团结维护自身利益。
semiconductor import tariffs and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) potential investment in the United States. Trump had previously stated that the U.S. would impose a 100% tariff on certain imported goods, including semiconductors, and claimed that TSMC would invest $300 billion in the U.S. to build the world's largest wafer fabrication plant in Arizona.
The spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Zhu Fenglian, responded to these claims. She stated that TSMC's previous forced announcement of a $100 billion investment in the U.S. had already caused panic and widespread discontent among industries and the public in Taiwan. Zhu warned that if the $300 billion investment were to materialize, it would inevitably have a significant impact on Taiwan's economy, further weakening its development momentum and autonomy.
The Taiwan Affairs Office criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in Taiwan, labeling them as the biggest accomplices in the U.S. "hollowing out" Taiwan's industries. The spokesperson accused the DPP authorities of “kneeling before the negotiations before they even began” and “offering their other cheek” in tariff negotiations, while remaining secretive about the process and deceiving the public. Furthermore, the DPP authorities are accused of being overly accommodating to the U.S. in industrial matters, voluntarily offering TSMC and allowing its value to be drained, which demonstrates the DPP authorities' lack of will and ability to protect Taiwan's economic development and the welfare of its people.
The statement concluded with a strong admonition to the DPP authorities to “pull back from the brink” on their path of “fawning over the U.S. and selling out Taiwan.” It also urged the Taiwanese public and all insightful individuals to unite and actively protect their own interests.
【特朗普称台积电将在美投资3000亿美元 国台办回应】财联社8月13日电,据“日月谭天”,国台办8月13日上午举行例行新闻发布会。记者:美国总统特朗普日前受访称,将对半导体等进口商品征收100%关税。并称台积电将在美投资3000亿美元,在亚利桑那州建立全世界最大晶圆厂。对此有何评论?国台办发言人朱凤莲:此前,台积电被迫宣布在美加码投资1000亿美元时,已使岛内业界恐慌、民怨沸腾。此次3000亿美元投资一旦落地,势必对台湾经济造成巨大影响,台湾经济的发展动能和自主性将被进一步削弱。如果说美国是掏空台湾产业的始作俑者,那么民进党当局就是最大的帮凶。他们在关税谈判上“未谈先跪”、“打左脸送右脸”,对谈判过程讳莫如深,甚至对民众一骗再骗;在产业上对美国予取予求,主动奉送台积电,任其榨干台湾优势产业价值,充分说明民进党当局根本无心也无力维护台湾经济发展和民众福祉。奉劝民进党当局在“媚美卖台”的邪路上及时悬崖勒马,台湾民众和各界有识之士应当团结起来,积极维护自身利益。
