Seeing that Lai Qingde can't stand it, the United States is too thoughtful to throw out a "powerful" hard move to the mainland

Lai Qingde's inaugural speech caused an uproar. The mainland has also made frequent efforts to deal with this "Taiwan independence worker" these two days. Seeing that Lai Qingde could not resist, the United States threw out a "powerful" hard move. It can only be said that the Biden government is too thoughtful.

In the past two days, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the People's Republic of China has made many voices and will not let go of "Taiwan independence". In this case, the island experts have reached a consensus that after 520, the Chinese mainland is likely to have turned into a nine word principle: strive for talks, prepare to fight, and do not want to delay. The last six words of the nine word principle are exactly what Lai Qingde fears most.

Under such circumstances, the United States feels that they must do something to frighten the mainland and let the mainland take back the idea of "not dragging". Therefore, on May 21 local time, Bloomberg, a well-known American media, released the news that an American official said that once the Chinese mainland attacked Taiwan, Asma and TSMC would be able to disable the chip manufacturing machine.

This news soon became the focus of discussion on the Taiwan Strait issue. According to the review, this news also indirectly confirmed the speculation of many netizens that the lithography manufacturer Asma may have left a "back door" on the lithography machines they sold. Of course, Asme will certainly not admit that they can completely explain it this way: when I talk about paralyzed machines, I just don't provide various after-sales services such as spare parts for the sold machines, rather than having a "back door". In short, they have the right to interpret everything.

There is no doubt that the American media and western officials talked about this matter at this time for one purpose only: to frighten the mainland of China and not to act rashly. They believe that such a substantial deterrent approach will certainly work. But I wonder whether the West is aware of the following three problems:

First, how high is the transaction volume between mainland China and Asme in the past few months.

In the first quarter of 2024, the revenue of the Chinese mainland market accounted for 49% of Asmar, far more than that of South Korea and Japan. In the first quarter of last year, the share of mainland China was only 8%. Some netizens said: Does this prove that China is "hoarding goods", otherwise how can it increase several times? You can think about this yourself.

Second, does the West really think that when it comes to national reunification, China will compromise because of the chip issue? This is not a choice between chips or the reunification of the motherland. They don't know the Chinese.

Third, when the West played the Asma card, it just showed that the various cards they used before were no longer effective. The cards used by the West in the past include: spending money to buy "friendly countries" for Taiwan, drawing big cakes for arms sales, and drawing small circles in the Indo Pacific region. If these tactics were not exhausted and ineffective, how could they dump Asmai? You know, Asmeco is the lifeblood of the Dutch government. Are they really willing to lose 49% of the market share from China? In the end, capital and capitalists will make Western politicians understand what "profit comes first".

To sum up, Lai Qingde is about to become a rat on the island. The Biden government will certainly try every means to help him. But the problem is that the landlords have no food left. When facing the problems of Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East at the same time, the moves of the Biden government in the Taiwan Strait will only become more and more empty and less lethal. As for Lai Qingde, we never imagine that he can turn back, and we believe that one day, the people of Taiwan will let him go without the help of the PLA.
