The Taiwan authorities are promoting that they can play a key role in the "semiconductor democratic supply chain" National Taiwan Affairs Office: burying Taiwan's economic lifeline and development prospects.

According to Xinhua News Agency, on December 24, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked about the recent participation of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in the first "Silicon Peace Summit" hosted by the United States, claiming that Taiwan can play a key role in the "global semiconductor democratic supply chain." What is your comment on this? In response to this, the spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office, Peng Qing'en, stated that we oppose the United States providing a stage for "Taiwan independence" elements. Lai Ching-te and the DPP authorities deliberately incite ideological confrontation and antagonism in order to seek "independence," promoting the false narrative of "democracy against authoritarianism," which is not well received. The so-called "democratic supply chain" is essentially the Lai Ching-te authorities going against economic rules and market regulations, shamelessly catering to external forces by selling Taiwan's advantageous industries, sacrificing Taiwan's development prospects, ruining the livelihoods of Taiwanese people in exchange for support for their pursuit of "independence." Their words and actions will only exacerbate tensions in the Taiwan Strait, increase the burdens on Taiwanese people, and jeopardize Taiwan's economic lifeline and development prospects.
