The United States Republican presidential candidate Trump has previously bombarded Taiwan to snatch the US semiconductor industry, which has caused Taiwanese public opinion to be uproar. Some American scholars have further alert when visiting Taiwan, emphasizing that although the close trade between the United States and Taiwan has important political meanings, itIt still cannot be ruled out that the possibility of a trade war broke out in a specific industry in the future.
When Trump was interviewed by Bloomberg Business Week in July, Trump criticized Taiwan to snatch almost 100%of the chip business in the United States. He also said that it would be difficult to defend the islands other than half the earth.Essence
This remarks have attracted the current Bayeng government and Taipei to clarify, but it is still difficult to calm down the suspicion of the suspicion of Taiwan.
The Institute of Political Science, Taiwan Central Academy of Political Science held the 22nd anniversary of the Celebration Table Forum on Thursday (August 8th). Jon Pevehouse, a professor at the Department of Political Science, University of Veoscin, invited to attend the meeting., Cannot rule out the possibility of a trade war in a specific industry in the future.
He pointed out that there is a wide range of trade between the United States and Taiwan, with important political meaning.
Pevhaus further pointed out that the United States has always been lacking in signing the trade agreement, but the two parties signed the US -Taiwan 21st Century Trade Initiament in 2022. Taiwan can be said to be one of the few targets in the United States in terms of trade cooperation.
He said that the United States had been unwilling to sign a trade agreement for decades in the past, and did not sign the first trade agreement with Israel in 1985.This actually shows that for the United States, when signing a trade agreement, the security concerns are far beyond the concerns of the economy.
But Pevhaus pointed out that in recent years, the United States has increasingly criticized Taiwan's economic policies and investment openness in recent years. What political considerations behind it will have any impacts, and it is worth observing.
Xin Cuiling, a professor at the Department of Political Economics of Sun Yat -sen University in Taiwan, also pointed out at the meeting that Taiwan does establish technical partnership with other countries through high -tech capabilities such as semiconductor manufacturing and create geopolitical and diplomatic meanings.
She also mentioned that Taiwan even uses high -tech capabilities as a leverage to try to ensure her autonomous status between the two major technology systems in the United States and China.
But Xin Cuiling pointed out that Taiwan's technical partnership is facing persistent uncertainty, especially under the wave of risks, other countries also want to disperse the risk of excessive dependence on Taiwan.In addition, Taiwan lacks the ability to face pressure on major powers to use the supply chain status.
In addition, in addition to Trump's negative attitude towards Taiwan ’s defense, the new party passed by the United States Republic in July has not seen a position involved in Taiwan for the first time in 40 years, and it will also pay attention to the outside world.What kind of attitude will the general government take?
Scholars of the Taiwan Institute of Technology launched the "Portrait of the United States" plan in 2021 to track the trust of the people in Taiwan and mainland China.The latest survey in May this year shows that 46.5%of the people in Taiwan believe that if Trump wins, the possibility of sending troops in the United States will decline when the mainland will move against Taiwan.
One of the members of the planning member of the Taiwan Institute of Technology Wu Wenqin, a researcher at the Political Institute of the Chinese Academy of China, on Friday (August 9), at another symposium, he admitted that the personal characteristics of the United States President may indeed affect the people of Taiwan to the United States to the United States.Overall trust.But after all, the United States is an institutionalized country, and it still cannot exclude the system's restrictions on the individual of the president.
