Recently, the most interesting information on the island is that the results of the "nine-in-one" local elections have been announced. The Kuomintang defeated the "ruling" Democratic Progressive Party 13:5. In order to be responsible for the election results, the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party and the current leader of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, announced that she would resign as party chairman. Such results in the "nine-in-one" also show that after the Taiwan authorities were trying hard and "independence" continued, which caused tension in the Taiwan Strait, the people on the island changed their supporters and voted for the Kuomintang. In order to win back public opinion, the Taiwan authorities became anxious after losing the election battle and TSMC was about to become "USCC", and rarely criticized the US side by name, saying that it "shakes Taiwan's economy."
Tsai Ing-wen resigned from the position of chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party
According to reports from reference information, recently, data from the statistics department of the Taiwan authorities showed that the plan to "maintain 3" of the island's economic growth rate in 2023 will be failed. In response, in addition to mentioning that it was affected by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the geopolitical influence of the Middle East, Taiwan also rarely criticized the "US Chip Act" by name, saying that it had a direct or indirect impact on the Taiwan industry and was an "unstable factor" that shakes Taiwan's economy.
I have to say that this is "a dog bites a dog, a mouth full of hair". The Taiwan authorities believe that the United States uses the chip bill to suppress allies, which has led to the Taiwan side having to passively adjust its industrial structure, which may shake the growth rate of GDP in Taiwan. However, the US believes that after the chip bill was introduced, Taiwan's leading companies in the semiconductor industry could move to the United States to set up factories or invest, which will expand the market size and be closer to the United States and the West; secondly, it can also curb the development of mainland China. Isn't this what the Taiwan authorities also hope?
Recently, TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou confirmed for the first time that the 5-nanometer wafer factory invested and built by TSMC in the United States has begun to enter the equipment, which also means that it is getting closer to the official start of production. What is even more worrying to all walks of life on the island is that Zhang Zhongmou also said that after the 5-nanometer wafer factory, the 3-nanometer wafer factory will also be built in the United States. In this way, TSMC will actually become "MIC".
TSMC is the leading company in the semiconductor industry in Taiwan
. TSMC, however, is the leading company in the semiconductor industry in Taiwan, and is closely related to the island's GDP. Against this background, the island's criticism about the Tsai Ing-wen authorities' "selling Taiwan" is getting higher and higher. At this time, the DPP just happened to catch up with the time when the DPP lost the "nine-in-one" election , and the people's hearts were lost in a large number of people's hearts. The so-called "misfortune never happens alone." Such a trend also indicates that the DPP will be at a disadvantage in the election of leaders in Taiwan two years and is likely to lose the "rule".
After Tsai Ing-wen won the re-election of the Taiwan leader, the "independence" actions of the Taiwan authorities have become increasingly obvious.
On the one hand, it has increased the frequency of introducing weapons and equipment from the United States, and has broken the convention and started to introduce offensive weapons; on the other hand, some Western lawmakers who "take money to do things" have also visited Taiwan more and more frequently, and they all "want to meet Tsai Ing-wen" to help the Taiwan authorities speak out, especially Lopesi, who had just stepped down as US House Speaker, jumped into Taiwan, which directly led to tension in the Taiwan Strait.
Ma Ying-jeou questioned the Taiwan authorities
However, even in the context of the Taiwanese authorities doing so evil, the mainland still thinks that it is all about the descendants of Yan and Huang, and is unwilling to stop the " Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement " (ECFA), and is still allowing Taiwan to enjoy the dividends brought by the mainland's cross-strait policies. In this regard, Ma Ying-jeou, former chairman of the Kuomintang and former leader of Taiwan, could not stand it and directly questioned the Taiwan authorities, saying that since he could accept the ECFA with peace of mind, why could he not accept the "1992 Consensus "? Because everyone knows that the "1992 Consensus" is the reliable cornerstone of cross-strait political stability.
On the other hand, the United States cannot control so much.
As early as the first half of this year, the US Biden authorities expressed their voice to the outside world, hoping to establish a "chip four-party alliance" composed of the United States, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, and move all the three-party chip advantageous companies to the United States, or increase their efforts to invest in and set up factories in the United States. The United States does this, first, to cut off the semiconductor supply chain to China; second, to alleviate its severe domestic inflation situation and increase employment rates. As for the difficulties the three allies will face, the United States doesn't care at all.
US President Biden proposed the "Four-Square Chip Alliance"
It is in this context that the Taiwan authorities rarely "swear" and they still "swear" in the name of the United States. However, what can be changed after criticism? At critical moments, it will still be abandoned by the US side. Moreover, the United States has just ended the midterm election , which is of course clear about what the "nine-in-one" results on the island. After the Kuomintang prevails, even if the Taiwan authorities do not make any noise, the US side may have to reconsider how to "deal" with the Taiwan authorities.
