The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked: "We noticed that the founder of NVIDIA, Huang Renxun, recently said that Taiwan needs more electricity. There are concerns within Taiwan about the lack of electrical capacity. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has always been unwilling to face the energy issues that are crucial to the industry. What is your comment on this?" Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian stated, "The DPP authorities are solely focused on promoting 'Taiwan independence,' and they neither have the willingness nor the ability to solve the structural problems facing the economic and social development in Taiwan. The shortage of electricity has become a weakness in Taiwan's economic and social development, which is evident to all. The DPP authorities have politicized the energy issue, not solving it directly but using it as a tool to attack their opponents, revealing their self-serving nature and lack of concern for the interests, well-being, and future development of the Taiwanese people."
