Can Taiwan really disconnect its economy From China?
China has long been Taiwan's most important trading partner, the main buyer of its exports and the place where many of its companies make their products. China is also Taiwan's greatest threat and claims that the island democracy is part of its territory. Now, Taiwan's ruling political party says it wants to do more to dismantle the commercial ties that for decades have propelled Taiwan's economic growth. President Lai Ching-te is calling for companies that make semiconductors -- Taiwan's main industry -- to stop buying from and selling to China. Lai has said Taiwanese firms, which make the majority of the world's advanced computer chips, should instead embrace a supply chain that involves only companies from democratic countries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Los ciudadanos chilenos pueden solicitar la ciudadanía estadounidense gc programa Undo Last month, Taiwan's government told Taiwanese businesses that they would need licenses to sell products to two of China's most important tech companies: telecommunications giant Huawei and SMIC, formally the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. Both are key to China's drive to make its own chips. The move aligns with Washington's long-running goal of cutting off China's access to advanced chips. It also underscores how Taiwan is snared between the two superpowers. President Donald Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on Taiwan, and dozens of other U.S. trading partners, as soon as this week. Live Events Taiwan's ruling party wants to be seen in Washington as a reliable friend of the United States, "even if that means paying a short-term economic cost," said Kharis Templeman, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, a think tank at Stanford University. But Taiwan could pay a high cost for shifting its economy away from China. For decades, almost all foreign investment by Taiwanese companies went to China. Taiwan's biggest companies, including the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, and electronics giant Foxconn, grew on the strength of manufacturing investments in China and sales to Chinese companies. Foxconn, which makes devices for Apple and Nvidia, produces a significant share of the world's consumer electronics at its factories in central China, where it has benefited from years of government-backed infrastructure investment. The company's founder, Terry Gou, ran for president in Taiwan in 2024. Taiwan's richest person, Barry Lam, built his fortune making laptops in China with his company, Quanta Computer. Taiwanese food and beverage conglomerate Want Want depends on China for the majority of its sales. Its founder, Tsai Eng-meng, is a vocal supporter of China's claims on Taiwan and runs pro-Beijing television stations and YouTube channels. The close ties between the two economies have been seen in Taiwan as a deterrent against China's aggression, and a way for China to exert its influence over the island. The coupling cuts both ways. Over the past decade, some Taiwanese firms have begun to reconsider their dependence on China. In 2014, when Taiwan's leaders proposed closer economic ties to China, thousands of Taiwanese people protested over fears of becoming too dependent on Beijing. The plan was ultimately shelved. The trade tensions and COVID-19 pandemic made Taiwanese businesses pull back further. Last year, just over 7% of Taiwan's new foreign investment went to China, down from over 80% in 2010. Still, analysts say completely decoupling the two economies would be difficult. China remains the largest buyer of Taiwan's exports, especially semiconductors. At the same time, Taiwan depends on political and military support from the United States to help resist pressure from Beijing. Trump has demanded that Taiwan drastically raise its own military spending and accused Taiwan of stealing the lead in semiconductor manufacturing from the United States. Officials in Taiwan have committed to a slight increase in military spending, and TSMC said it would more than double its investments in the United States to $165 billion. The sale of tech equipment to China is likely to be a continuing source of friction, and negotiation, for Taiwan in its dealings with the Trump administration. Last year, a chip made by TSMC ended up in a Huawei device despite U.S. export controls, angering officials in Washington. Taiwan's addition of Huawei and SMIC to its restricted trade list is a step toward cutting off the business that has continued to flow to China. Despite the pressures pushing Taiwan further away, there are compelling forces drawing companies to China. Howard Yuan, 36, is a manager at Superb International in Shanghai, a garment manufacturer his family founded in Taiwan and expanded to China in the 1980s. He said it would be hard to replace China's suppliers. And Ruby Chen, 32, said China was an easier place to start a business than Taiwan. For the past three years, she has run a wellness company focused on traditional Chinese medicine in Shandong, China. "It's very suitable for beginners in entrepreneurship," said Chen, who hosts boot camps for Taiwanese businesspeople who want to start companies in Shandong. "I was just a working-class girl from an ordinary family, with a bit of savings."

Woody Johnson, New York Jets owner, buys 43% stake in Premier League club Crystal Palace
New York Jets owner Robert Wood Johnson , popularly know as 'Woody', is on the verge of entering English football, with Premier League side Crystal Palace confirming Monday that Johnson has signed a legally binding agreement to acquire fellow American John Textor 's 43% stake in the club. The deal, reported to be valued between $220 million and $260 million, is pending approval from the Premier League and Women's Super League, but Palace stated they foresee no obstacles. "Whilst the completion is pending approval. We do not envisage any issues and look forward to welcoming Woody as a partner and director of the club," Palace said in a statement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Los ciudadanos chilenos pueden solicitar la ciudadanía estadounidense gc programa Undo — CPFC (@CPFC) "We would like to go on record to thank John Textor for his contribution over the past four years and wish him every success for the future." Live Events Johnson, who previously attempted to buy Chelsea in 2022, now succeeds in making his mark in English football. The timing of the deal is significant for Palace, who recently qualified for next season's UEFA Europa League following their FA Cup final triumph over Manchester City. Textor's dual ownership interests, particularly his stake in French club Lyon - which also qualified for the Europa League - posed a potential conflict under UEFA's multi-club ownership rules. Johnson's acquisition helps resolve that issue and clears Palace's path to European competition, further solidifying the club's ambitions on and off the pitch.
