On October 21, the Taiwan Affairs Office convened a regular press briefing. During the session, a journalist brought up that US President Trump had recently once again mentioned TSMC, lauding it as a premier global chip manufacturer, and disclosed that he had engaged in a phone conversation with TSMC Chairman Mark Liu. The reporter inquired about the significance behind Trump's repeated mentions of TSMC and questioned whether the US was intensifying its grip on Taiwan's semiconductor sector. In reply, spokesperson Zhang Han emphasized that the competitive edge enjoyed by Taiwan's pertinent industries is a testament to the diligent efforts of Taiwan's industrial sector, entrepreneurs, and researchers, and is bolstered by the widespread support of the Taiwanese populace. These achievements constitute the shared wealth of Taiwan's compatriots. He further warned that the DPP authorities' persistent exploitation of the endeavors and accomplishments of multiple generations would ultimately jeopardize the fundamental interests of Taiwan's industrial community and the broader public.
