The friction between the mainland and Taiwan has always attracted much attention, and there have been new moves recently. The mainland's announcement of tariff sanctions on 12 petrochemical products from Taiwan has sparked discussion and speculation from all sides. What exactly does this mean by this?Will the mainland's countermeasures have a huge impact on Taiwan's economy?
How will the Taiwan authorities respond?Let's take a look. All the products sanctioned by the mainland this time belong to the petrochemical industry, which is not a trivial matter for Taiwan's economy, because petrochemical products account for a high proportion of exports to Taiwan and are an important economic pillar.

For this attitude,
The mainland also expressed the hope that some people would correct their mistakes, but at the same time stressed that they would not always maintain a good face toward Taiwan. Issues are always a sensitive topic, and both sides need to deal with them calmly and seek ways to achieve win-win cooperation, rather than falling into confrontation and conflict.
At a time when Taiwan is plunged into a chaotic political situation, how to properly handle and maintain stability in the Taiwan Strait is a serious issue facing the Taiwan authorities.
