This week, a spokesperson for the Chinese mainland's Taiwan Affairs Office urged Taiwan authorities not to jeopardize the region's economy following a major announcement from the U.S. Secretary of Commerce.
The U.S. official said Washington aims to secure over $300 billion in investment and provide training for American semiconductor workers in Taiwan, with the goal of moving Taiwan's entire semiconductor supply chain to the United States.
In the Taiwan region, netizens criticized the Democratic Progressive Party authorities as "hopeless," fueling debate online. The spokesperson called on Taiwan compatriots to unite, oppose the pro-U.S. actions of Lai Ching-te's government, and actively defend their own interests.
