Former President of the United States and Republican presidential candidate Trump accepted an interview with the US media in late June, saying that Taiwan has taken the chip business from the United States and admits that there is practical difficulties to defend Taiwan, which is far away from thousands of miles away.= "About:/News/China/Story20240717-4286879" target = _blank> Taiwan should pay protection fees to the United States .
Trump's remarks are reminiscent of the passing literary and historian Li Ao in 2005, and the words of Li Jie, then the Minister of Defense Li Jie: "We stay at the front line of the first island chain, the front line of the first island chain, the front line of the first island chain, the front line of the first island chain.Is it the American watching dog? Do you have to spend money on the door of the door to buy bones? "At that time, Li Jiecang argued that Taiwan was not a dog."
People who are familiar with modern history know that in 1950, the Korean War broke out and changed the fate of Taiwan. The United States was based on "anti -communist priority" and considers Taiwan's important strategic position in the first island chain to prevent Taiwan.
Trump's interviewed content revealed the substantial relationship between the United States and Taiwan for the first time. It is not the Democracy Value Alliance, which is famous.
After debate and shooting, Trump's current victory has increased greatly.Some scholars have long been alert. Once the essence of businessmen, Trump may be used as a bargaining chip for the United States and mainland China at any time.
The Taiwan DPP government is unwilling to comment on Trump's "election language", which is low -key.Administrative Dean Zhuo Rongtai and other relevant officials claimed that they were willing to take more responsibilities to defend themselves.
There are different opinions within the Kuomintang; although the party chairman Zhu Lilun said that it rely entirely on the absolute error of the United States, to ensure the greatest interests of Taiwan in pro -American and China, and at the same time, it is necessary to promote cross -strait dialogue and exchanges and reduce risks.However, some people feel that the "protection fee" and transparent budget is not a good thing for Taiwan -US relations.
Ke Wenzhe, the chairman of the opposition party, questioned that Taiwan helped the United States to hold the first island chain. "Do we have to pay for it?"
The White House Guoan consultant Obrain in Trump further pointed out that in order to respond to the threat of the Communist Party of China, Taiwan should increase defense expenditure , at least five percent of the GDP (GDP) to show the will of self -defense.He also said that five percent is only a rough estimate, "we need to see the will of Taiwanese."
According to the Taiwan Ministry of Defense, the overall national defense budget of the Tsai Ing -English government has increased from 381.5 billion yuan (NT $ 16.7 billion) to 580.3 billion yuan from 381.5 billion yuan (2019 to 2023).Compared with 2.0%to 2.5%, it shows an annual growth trend.
Jie Zhong analyzed Jie Zhong, an associate researcher at the Kuomintang think tank and the National Political Foundation, said that if 2024 is used as an example, the estimated value of GDP is 24 trillion 560 billion, and 5 % of the GDP of Obrain will be compiled.The annual budget needs to be compiled 1 trillion 228 billion, accounting for 43 % of the total budget of the central government's total budget, that is, the government is used for nearly one dollar for each cost of two dollars.The budget can be compiled during the war.
Including Li Zhengjie and other retired generals also questioned that the United States would increase the military sales of Taiwan, but the weapons to be sold may not be needed in Taiwan.For example, the performance of the "male wind" three -type guides developed by Taiwan does not lose the US fish fork missile in the United States, but the United States prevented Taiwan from developing the male three missiles.Also bring your own dog food. "
Furthermore, Trump said that Taiwan ’s chip business was not fair.Liberal economics emphasizes international division of labor and comparative benefits, that is, countries do not need to be self -sufficient, and adopt the most favorable production methods to exchange each other.
Wang Jingjing, the acting dean of the China Institute of Economics, pointed out that in the early days, the United States left the IC design and equipment with high gross profit margin in the United States.Mi to today's situation, the increase in global market share is naturally formed.
The Kuomintang Taipei City Councilor Zeng Xianying, who once worked in TSMC, said that Taiwan and the United States jointly build the entire semiconductor industry chain.Low gross profit is still very hard.Trump uses "taking the American chip business" and "Taiwanese is super rich" to erase the sacrifice and hard work of Taiwan semiconductor practitioners. This kind of speech is very unfair.
TSMC on Thursday (July 18) held Fa , announced the second quarter of 53.2 %, camp campsThe interest rate is 42.5 %, all surpassing the high bid for financial measures; the net profit after a quarterly tax is 247.845 billion yuan, which is far better than the market expectations, which is equivalent to earning more than 2.7 billion yuan when opening the door every day.Season history is the third highest.However, with a word of Trump and the Biden government intends to sacrifice more stringent mainland chips, TSMC has shrunk by nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Tsai Ing -wen government has "anti -China -China". Today's Lai Qingde government is fully hostile to the mainland. It can only bet on the United States. In the future, the United States will be allowed to seek, causing internal financial difficulties.Moreover, from the perspective of international history, even if Taiwan obeys the United States, who can guarantee that the protection fee will be paid, and will not be sold?What is the independence and autonomy of Taiwan?
