The Taiwan Affairs Office: So-called "supply chain cooperation" will only force Taiwan to cut off its own limbs.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter from CCTV asked: Recently, when Lai Ching-te met with a visiting delegation from Arizona, USA, he mentioned that in recent years, the US has become the largest overseas direct investment destination for Taiwan. He expressed hope that both sides would sign a tariff agreement as soon as possible to help companies like TSMC establish a long-term presence in the US and create high-paying job opportunities locally. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Peng Qing'en stated that the US has always prioritized its own interests and used tariffs as a selfish tool, harming others for its own benefit. The so-called "US-Taiwan trade" and "supply chain cooperation" will only drain Taiwan and force Taiwan to cut off its own muscles and bones. In the eyes of Americans, Taiwan's value is not as a "supply chain partner," but rather as a pawn in the game of "using Taiwan to contain China," a "cash cow" for the military-industrial complex, and an "ATM" for manufacturing returning to the US.
