Taiwan Announces Inclusion Of ZTE In Export Control
Apr 28, 2018
Overseas Network, April 28th, On the occasion of the "China-US trade war," the Taiwan authorities have once again resorted to the "silver knife" on the mainland. On the evening of the 27th, the Taiwan authorities stated that China’s ZTE Corporation was listed as an export control target. When the news came out, Taiwanese netizens fryed their pots. Someone denounced the Taiwan authorities for "American leg dog legs," and they questioned and satirized the DPP. "If Taiwan is so cooperative, what benefits can it gain? The people do not, and the "fraudulent party" absolutely has."
According to news from Taiwan’s Associated Press, Taiwan’s economic department stated on the 27th that “to ensure the export rights of Taiwan's high-tech industries, the economic sector has included ZTE and ZTE Kangxun as two companies’ strategic export control of high-tech goods. Target' Taiwanese businessmen must obtain a permit in advance before exporting goods to the two companies, and then send the export to the customs. The Economic Department and Trade Bureau wrote a letter to the relevant association on Monday (23rd) to inform the relevant decision."
Taiwan’s Economic Department stated that “if the review of the relevant application does not involve the development of military weapons such as nuclear, biological, chemical, etc., the issuing authority of the Bureau of Trade, etc., will issue the certificate within 3 to 5 working days. If there is any doubt, it will consult relevant The unit review will be issued within 10 to 15 working days.” Some officials of the Bureau of Trade also said that “the manufacturer’s current export of goods to ZTE is not prohibited. The practice is to avoid violating international regulations and affecting exports.
Taiwanese netizens have denounced the Taiwan authorities for this move. Some people denounced the Taiwan authorities for "US imperial dog legs." Some people also questioned and satirized the DPP. "What can be done to benefit from Taiwan's cooperation? The people do not, and the 'fraudulent party' absolutely has."
Why is the Taiwan authorities being spurned by the Taiwanese people as "the leg of the American emperor"? Just a few days ago, the U.S. Department of Commerce inflicted a heavy blow to ZTE, claiming that ZTE had prohibited U.S. companies from exporting any technology or products to ZTE within seven years because ZTE had violated the settlement agreement reached with the U.S. government.
Earlier, affected by the "trade war" between China and the United States, the financial authority of the Taiwan authorities announced on the 16th that it had investigated the countervailing duties and anti-dumping investigations on five steel products in the mainland. Some public opinion believes that Taiwan has "slipped on the mainland" in the "China-US trade war."
At that time, Taiwan’s political commentator Huang Zhixian said: “The United States now counts everything. It wants to suppress the development of the mainland, and Taiwan must also be in order to make the United States a flattery, and in order to win the approval of the United States, it must also join in the fight against China. Mainland China, but will Taiwan be hit by itself? Do you think you stand next to see fights on both sides? No, the US’s crackdown on the mainland’s telecommunications industry directly impacts the Taiwan’s frontline and the best in Taiwan. Home Technology Company."
In response, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has responded that we have repeatedly stated that the mainland is Taiwan’s largest trading partner and the largest source of trade surplus. Cross-strait economic cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win. Cross-strait industrial cooperation is also inextricably linked. This time, the "double-anti-" investigation by the Taiwan authorities involved a considerable part of the five categories of steel products that were produced by Taiwanese-funded factories in the mainland. Behind this practice of the DPP authorities, there are ulterior motives that harm the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait, especially the interests of Taiwan compatriots.
