Economics Minister Kuo Jyh-huei says he believes U-S President-elect Donald Trump's mooted 10-per cent tariff on all U-S imports will have a limited effect on Taiwan.
However, Kuo is warning that Trump's proposed 60-per cent levy on Chinese-made products will have an impact on Taiwanese firms operating in China.
According to Kuo, he agrees with media speculation that Trump's election win could result in more Taiwanese businesses in China to return to Taiwan, and the government has policies planned to assist supply chains with overseas
market arrangements (安排).
Kuo says Trump's claim that Taiwan "stole" America's chip industry was a "misunderstanding" .. and many experts on the matter believe that the U.S. and Taiwan complement each other in the semiconductor supply chain.
