Mainland says the DPP are selling out Taiwan's semiconductor industry

When asked to comment on concerns regarding U.S. hollowing out Taiwan's semiconductor industry, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that the concerns of Taiwan's industry are not groundless.

If the DPP authorities are allowed to continue down the dangerous path of selling out Taiwan and ruining it, Taiwan's industrial sector and the public will not only lose their current jobs, but also the opportunities for future development, said Zhu.

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) has long become a political pledge of the DPP authorities' attempts to seek "Taiwan independence" by leaning on the United States. It is only a matter of time before Taiwan's semiconductor industry is handed over by Lai Ching-te, who is a "professional traitor of Taiwan."

According to Reuters reports, the TSMC and Intel recently discussed a preliminary agreement to form a joint venture to operate the U.S. chipmaker's factories. The TSMC will take a 20-percent stake in the new company. Taiwan's major chipmaker United Microelectronics and U.S.-based GlobalFoundries are looking into the possibility of a merger.
