"In order to seek selfish gain, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have freely made demands from external forces, using Taiwan's semiconductor industry and powerful companies to get a foot in the door to relying on foreign countries to seek independence, and even give them away as souvenirs," said Zhu Fenglian, China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, according to Reuters.
The hypocrisy.

With any news piece, you have to look at which language it's spoken/published in. That tells you the primary audience it is intended for.

I'm kind of puzzled who this is aimed at.

I think you're forgetting that China kinda wants to invade, which makes the Taiwanese chip industry a part of the deal

It's funny how jealous West Taiwan is of Taiwan.

The People's Republic of China seems a bit hypocritical here, to say the least. Lets consider the automotive industry, as an example - the PRC used to have a 100% tariff on imported vehicles, and still has a 25% to 47% tariff on them them. The PRC also has required most automakers who want to build inside of China to "partner" with a Chinese company while doing so, making it possible for those Chinese companies to quickly catch up in the industry. This policy has worked amazingly well for China, as now they produce tons of cars in their own country and an ever increasing numbers of those cars are from their domestic manufacturers.

The US using tariffs with a side of military protection to gain some of that advanced fab tech TSMC has come up with seems pretty darn similar to me at least.
