The core driver of the 50-50 policy is US domestic political and security anxiety, not pure economic logic. Washington is attempting to mitigate domestic voter concerns about strategic dependence by "making supply chains visible," rather than basing decisions solely on supply chain efficiency optimization. Understood this way, Taiwan faces not targeted suppression but rather spillover effects from US self-protective instincts. For Taiwan businesses, the correct interpretation is: this policy reflects US weakness, not Taiwan's weakness. Taiwan maintains structural advantages in cost, efficiency, and technology; what truly requires careful consideration is how to preserve technological irreplaceability through this trend, rather than simply complying with or resisting policy demands.
