Taiwan opposition leader says cross-strait semiconductor deal too risky
A MAINLAND state-backed technology group Tsinghua Unigroup's US$2.6 billion investment in Taiwan is "huge threat" as it will result in the partial take-over of three Taiwanese semiconductor companies.
That is the view of Tsai Ing-wen expressed during a debate between candidates in the January 16 Taiwan presidential election, reported Reuters and Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
"The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] has never excluded economic and trade exchanges," said Ms Tsai, the front runner in most polls. "But we pay attention to the management of the risks."
Ms Tsai said the DPP, which leans toward independence, hopes to continue in the "spirit" of using risk management and control to manage economic and trade exchanges with China.
Ms Tsai must tread carefully in discussing how she will engage mainland authorities if the DPP returns to power. Beijing has never renounced the use of force to bring what it deems a renegade province under its control.
