In a Financial Times interview published on Nov. 20, Wu said that Taiwan will support the United States in building its chip industry, and in return, the United States will offer tariff relief for the island's semiconductor sector.
“Of course, there's the recipes of how to make the chips, but it's also about the science park management, attracting companies, integrating academic research with industry,” Wu told the news outlet. “No other country has done what we have done.”
Wu did not provide details about the consen...

Trump Says China Doesn't Want To Invade Taiwan
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
President Trump said on Monday that he doesn't think China wants to invade Taiwan and expressed optimism about reaching a trade deal with Beijing despite his recent threat to increase tariffs in response to China's rare earth export restrictions.
"I think we'll be just fine with China. China doesn't want to do that," Trump told reporters in response to a question about China invading Taiwan, according to Politico. "As it pertains to Taiwan, and that doesn't mean it's not the apple of his eye, because probably it is, but I don't see anything happening."

US Intel Warns China Is Modifying Tank-Carrying Ferry Fleet For Potential Taiwan Invasion
At a moment the Pentagon is busy rearranging its defense priorities toward readiness for a potential future conflict with China, Beijing itself is wasting no time in preparing for just such a scenario, particularly related to the Taiwan question.
"A classified US military intelligence report seen by the ABC says China is rapidly building up the country's commercial ferry fleet to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan," the Australian publication writes of a document said to be from earlier this year, prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
Via ABC
This is nothing too new or much of a huge revelation, given Western intelligence - including the so-called Five Eyes which includes Australia - has for years been monitoring a trend where the PLA upgrades commercial ferries to become troop and tank carriers, for use in prior military exercises with an eye toward Taiwan.
Back in 2022, it was und...
