黄国昌闪电窜访美国谈军购，美国将与中国台湾达成贸易协议

Core Viewpoint - The recent trade agreement between Taiwan and the U.S. is perceived as a detrimental exchange that compromises Taiwan's economic and security interests, with concerns that it may lead to increased dependency on the U.S. and potential economic downturns for Taiwan [3][6][10]. Group 1: Trade Agreement Implications - The trade agreement will reduce tariffs on U.S. exports to Taiwan to 15%, while Taiwan's largest chip manufacturer, TSMC, is expected to significantly increase investments in the U.S. [3] - This agreement is viewed as a transaction that trades Taiwan's core interests for economic benefits, raising concerns about Taiwan's autonomy and economic future [3][6]. - The reduction in tariffs is seen as a superficial benefit that may lead to long-term economic challenges, as it pressures Taiwanese industries to relocate to the U.S. [5][6]. Group 2: Economic Dependency and Risks - Taiwan's economy is heavily reliant on exports, and the increasing dependence on trade with the U.S. could jeopardize Taiwan's negotiating power in future dealings [6][10]. - The potential for U.S. demands to escalate poses a risk to Taiwan's economic stability, as the country may find itself with limited options if pressured [6][10]. - The historical context of economic shocks from the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic is overshadowed by the current trade dynamics, suggesting that the U.S. may continue to exploit Taiwan's resources [10]. Group 3: Military Purchases and Public Sentiment - The focus on military purchases is criticized as a move that could escalate tensions in the Taiwan Strait, with public sentiment indicating a reluctance to sacrifice lives for independence [8]. - There is a growing discontent among the Taiwanese populace regarding the allocation of resources towards U.S. military equipment, perceived as a betrayal of local interests [8]. - The military procurement strategy is viewed as a misguided approach that prioritizes external alliances over the well-being of Taiwanese citizens [8].
