Mainland blasts DPP authorities' reaction to U.S. abuse of tariffs

00:45

A spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has criticized the Democratic Progressive Party authorities saying they have sold out the vital interests of Taiwan's people. In serving and pleasing the U.S., the DPP has paid a huge ransom equivalent to half of Taiwan's annual GDP, the spokesperson said. The people and businesses in Taiwan have been very disappointed in the face of the U.S.'s bullying and imposition of tariffs, the spokesperson added. The U.S. slapped a 20-percent "reciprocal tariff" on Taiwan – higher than the 15-percent rate on Japan and South Korea.
