Taiwan Affairs Office responds to concerns on the island that UMC will be forced to go to the United States

This morning, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question. According to Taiwanese media reports, the director of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Taipei Office, Gu Liyan, met with senior executives of Taiwan's UMC a few days ago. The semiconductor industry in Taiwan is worried that after TSMC, UMC will also be forced to set up factories in the United States, and the advantages of Taiwan's related semiconductor industry will be weakened. What is your comment on this? Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that this worry is by no means "groundless" when the DPP authorities are one-sidedly and unscrupulously catering to the United States.
