On the morning of March 4th, the National Broadcasting Office held a routine press conference, with spokesperson Zhang Han answering reporters‘ questions about recent hot spots on both sides of the river.
A reporter asked that recently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the equivalent tariffs implemented by President Trump in 2025 were invalid. Islanders analyzed that this ruling completely overturned the legal basis of the Taiwan-U.S. tariff agreement. The ruling, which had previously been made by Lai Qingde‘s authorities to accommodate the U.S. side’s concessions and sky-high procurement commitments and $500 billion investment commitments, now looks like a blind concession lacking legal protection. May I ask what comments are made on this?
Zhang Han said that the United States is using tariffs as a big stick to exert maximum pressure, emptying and plundering Taiwan‘s industries. This kind of economic bullying is unpopular. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities disregard the well-being of the Taiwanese people, selling out to the United States without limit, promising huge procurements, large-scale opening of markets, and cooperation in transferring core industries. The result is that they spent their capital to buy a “vote of invalidity.” Facts have once again proven that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are willing to be pawns in order to “depend on others for their own ends,” only to suffer the consequences and become a laughingstock.
