With Trump's "liberation day" tariffs struck down, the ratification of Taiwan’s trade pact with the US faces new challenges. TaiwanPlus spoke to economist Dachrahn Wu, head of the Taiwan Economic Development Research Center at National Central University, to learn more. Wu says key semiconductor exports are protected and warns that reopening talks could backfire, adding that US–China talks will likely focus on security over trade, with limited impact on Taiwan.

00:00In your opinion, what should Taiwan do now as local parties push for renegotiations while the U.S. works to
00:06maintain its target deals globally?
00:30A US-3-2条款半導体關税規範的出口產品佔比是超過70%所以佔比非常高這個對台灣來講才是非常關鍵我們在談判的時候已經取得最優惠的條件那如果在這部分我們所取得的優惠有所變化的話對台灣來講影響可能會反而更不利所以我個人的看法就是應該靜觀其變
00:36So its price is very high.
00:38This is very important for Taiwan.
00:41When we talk about it, we have reached the best.
00:44If we have reached the best in this part,
00:48the impact will be more difficult for Taiwan.
00:53So my opinion is that it should be a good thing.
00:58If Section 232 products make up
01:0070% of Taiwan's export to the US
01:03and that part of the agreement is unaffected,
01:05why does the Reservoir Tariff deal remain so important?
01:08The traditional product in our entire export
01:11is not very high, 20%
01:15The most important thing is that its job
01:17is more than our engineering industry.
01:21So the impact of the people
01:23or the family's impact is definitely more.
01:30So I think the government is not to be aware.
01:35With US President Trump and Chinese leader
01:38Xi Jinping are set to me in late March,
01:40how could this type of situation affect them in Taiwan?
01:43He has a lot of problems with China.
01:47In the economy, he has no way to威脅 China.
01:49But he still has a lot of influence on the military.
01:56So I don't think that
01:57the US will be because of the economic power
02:00now becoming a little bit lower.
02:02And in Taiwan, there is a big impact on the issue.
02:05He really has some kind of威嚇.
02:07It's also its武力.
02:11It's also its military power.
02:13It's also its military power.
02:13It's the world's most powerful.
02:15Taiwan has a strong反制.
