A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Wednesday condemned Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te for advocating the establishment of a global “non-red supply chain” in the semiconductor sector, accusing him of promoting economic decoupling across the Taiwan Strait and kowtowing to the United States.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in Taiwan have been accused of raising the white flag and have “knelt in submission,” said Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office. He added that the DPP’s so-called negotiations with the United States amount to nothing more than political theater, serving only to embolden further American demands.
The ‘non-red’ here implies a circle of suppliers in the semiconductor sector that does not include China.
