The instructions given by Tsai Ing wen?,
"To promote selling Taiwan as a political achievement is called 'coin diplomacy'!"
Lithuania also made a big opening to Taiwan's lions, demanding that the "cooperation" funds be increased from the original 6.5 million euros to 14 million euros, and that Taiwan's "Industrial Research Institute" and "similar free of charge" provide technology to Lithuanian private companies to develop semiconductors. All these instructions for Lithuania to get what they want come from Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen. According to a report by Taiwan's "China Times News Network" today, Wang Hongwei, a public opinion representative of the Kuomintang, recently received the above revelations, revealing that the Tsai ing-wen authorities had created friendly relations between Taiwan and Lithuania from time to time, but the "Taiwan-based relationship" was actually based on Taiwan's financial aid and technical assistance for eight-inch wafers.
Wang Hongwei pointed out that in October 2021, Taiwan and Lithuania signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Semiconductor Cooperation. Originally, Taiwan and the Lithuanian government jointly invested in a private enterprise in Lithuania to assist in the development of the semiconductor industry. However, it later evolved into Taiwan's unilateral investment, with a cooperation budget of 6.5 million euros. Unexpectedly, the Lithuanian lion opened up and doubled the cooperation amount, demanding that Taiwan pay 14 million euros. On September 30, 2022, during the bilateral meeting, Lithuanian diplomats also spoke harshly, stating that if they did not agree, they would report to the Lithuanian Foreign Minister that "their intention to help Taiwan is higher than that of the Taiwan side", and they immediately left the meeting with an extremely arrogant and domineering attitude.
The so-called "Resident Representative Office" of the Taiwan authorities firmly stated to the Tsai Ing wen authorities that it is absolutely not feasible, stating that "it should not be increased due to pressure and threats from the other party. If the pressure is successful, the budget will be increased, and future cases will be subjected to similar pressure." Moreover, it cannot help private companies purchase technology, and it goes against international practice.
What Wang Hongwei didn't expect was that when the news came back to Taiwan, Gu Lixiong, secretary general of Taiwan's security department, held a meeting and decided the case with Tsai ing-wen's instructions, instructing that the case should be dealt with politically, and that Taiwan's foreign affairs department, economic department, and security department should "help". Finally, according to the information provided by Taiwan's foreign affairs department, Tsai ing-wen's authorities subsidized 10 million euros, and 6.63 million euros in the first year have been allocated to Taiwan's "Institute of Industrial Research." this is not what 'bereavement of power and humiliation of Taiwan' is. Do Tsai ing-wen have to pay the balance? ".
However, Taiwan's foreign affairs department is still "enjoying the funeral", not to mention that 8-inch wafer technology is still the mainstream technology. According to the International Semiconductor Industry Association's "Outlook Report on 8-inch Wafer Factories to 2025", it is estimated that from 2021 to 2025, the global production capacity of 8-inch wafer factories is expected to increase by 20%. "The authorities promote the sale of Taiwan as a political achievement, which is called" coin throwing diplomacy "!"
