On the morning of April 16, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reporter: The US launched a tariff trade war that impacted many Taiwanese businessmen in mainland China. Does the Taiwan Affairs Office understand the current production and operation situation of Taiwanese businessmen in mainland China? Some Taiwanese businessmen said that in order to prevent the supply chain from falling into trouble, they may move their production lines out of the mainland in the future. Does the mainland have countermeasures and establish relevant consensus with Taiwanese businessmen? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Zhu Fenglian: In the short term, due to high tariff barriers, the production and operation of export-oriented enterprises, including Taiwanese enterprises in mainland China, will be affected to a certain extent. However, in the long run, the supporting conditions and basic trends for a stable and positive mainland economy continue to develop. I am fully confident that it will continue to serve as a major contributor and stable anchor for world economic growth, and open up more space for strengthening cross-strait economic cooperation and deepening cross-strait integration and development.
