When asked to comment on reports that US President Donald Trump said he will impose a 100 percent tariff on imported goods such as semiconductors, and claimed TSMC will build world's largest wafer fabrication plant in Arizona backed with $300 billion, Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, stated on Wednesday that when TSMC previously announced an additional $100 billion investment in the US, it sparked panic and public discontent in Taiwan; a $300 billion plan would further erode the island's economic vitality and autonomy. The DPP authorities are the biggest accomplice to the US in hollowing out Taiwan's industries.
