BEIJING (Sputnik) - Taiwan could turn from the US's "pawn" to a victim at any moment, China's Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Chen Binhua said on Wednesday.
In July 2023, former US President Donald Trump told Fox News that Taiwan had taken the semiconductor business away from the United States.
"The US follows the principle of 'America first,' so Taiwan could turn from a pawn to a victim at any moment," the spokesman told a briefing, commenting on Trump's statement.
Taiwan is one of the world's biggest suppliers of semiconductors, which are used in everything from the auto industry to military equipment. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is the world's largest contract chip maker.
