China Slams Taiwan's DPP for "Selling Out" Region to US

A spokesperson from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council addressed the media on Wednesday, criticizing the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities. The spokesperson accused the DPP of attempting to sacrifice the interests of the Taiwan region to appease the United States. This was presented as a dangerous strategy, warning that continued concessions would ultimately lead to the complete exploitation of Taiwan by the US.

The spokesperson's comments were prompted by a recent statement from a Taiwan regional official. The official had suggested expanding investment in the US to contribute to the "make America great again" initiative. This statement sparked public criticism within the region. The spokesperson characterized the DPP's actions as a display of subservience and an attempt to curry favor with the US at the expense of Taiwan.

The spokesperson highlighted the US's use of tariffs and the resulting damage to the region's development. The DPP authorities were criticized for lacking the courage to resist economic pressure and for failing to protect the interests of businesses and the public. Instead, the DPP was accused of prioritizing appeasement of the US, potentially harming advantageous industries, the well-being of the people, and the region's economic future. The spokesperson emphasized that continued concessions would only embolden the US to demand more, leading to the complete exploitation of Taiwan.

Zhang Wensheng, a professor at Xiamen University's Taiwan Research Institute, echoed these concerns. He pointed to the significant losses experienced by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) in the US as an example of the negative consequences of the DPP's approach. TSMC's Arizona plant reported substantial losses, contrasting sharply with the robust profits generated by its operations on the Chinese mainland. Zhang warned that if the DPP continued to follow the US's lead, the regional economy would suffer further damage.

The DPP should have the courage to resist US demands and instead focus on what’s best for Taiwan.

The spokesperson hit the nail on the head. Continued concessions will only lead to more exploitation!

Finally, someone is calling out the DPP for sacrificing Taiwan's interests! These concessions to the US are dangerous.

This kind of clear communication is essential. Taiwan mustn't allow itself to be sidestepped in international relations.

Zhang Wensheng's comments on TSMC’s losses are very telling. The DPP's strategy is a risk we cannot afford.

The spokesperson's comments seem more like political grandstanding than a genuine concern for Taiwan's welfare. It’s rich coming from a government with its own authoritarian tendencies.
