Recently, U.S. President Trump announced a 32% "reciprocal tariff" on various countries. Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te proposed five countermeasures in response to this measure. However, Kuomintang legislator Lo Chih-chiang mockingly posted three countermeasures on social media, including "impeach Trump," which sparked a fierce backlash from netizens. He quickly deleted the post, but the controversy could not be quelled. Political worker Zhou Hsuan also criticized Lo Chih-chiang's response, believing that Taiwan needs more professional legislators.
Recently, the President of the United States announced that "reciprocal tariffs" would be imposed on various countries, which has impacted our nation, raising tariffs to 32%. In response to this issue, our President delivered a recorded message outlining five countermeasures. Meanwhile, a member of the Kuomintang was criticized for making inappropriate remarks on social media, which sparked strong backlash from netizens.
In light of the U.S. tariff measures, the President stated that the government would not adopt retaliatory tariffs and plans to negotiate vigorously to improve the situation. Additionally, support will be provided to affected industries, a medium- to long-term economic development plan will be proposed, a new cooperative relationship with the U.S. will be shaped, and an industrial listening tour will be launched.
However, a certain Kuomintang legislator made comments on social media, proposing three seemingly impractical counter-suggestions, including "appealing the 32% tariffs," "requesting the Constitutional Court to interpret the constitutionality of the tariffs," and "impeaching the President of the United States." These remarks triggered significant dissatisfaction among netizens. Although he subsequently deleted the post, it could not stop the backlash from public opinion.
Netizens and political workers expressed disappointment with this legislator's performance, believing he did not demonstrate a sense of responsibility towards Taiwan and his constituents, and called for improvements in legislative quality and for more professional representatives.
