Fresh memory of the terrible earthquake of April 2024
It is noteworthy that earlier in April 2024, a powerful earthquake of 7.4 magnitude had occurred in Taiwan, which was the strongest in the last 25 years. That earthquake killed at least 17 people and caused massive landslides and massive damage to buildings in the Hualien area.

The most devastating shock since 1999
The April 2024 earthquake was considered the most serious in Taiwan since the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that occurred in 1999. The 1999 earthquake proved to be the deadliest natural disaster in the island’s history, causing huge loss of life and property.

Earthquake in Taiwan: The earth has once again moved from the earthquake. People started running out of homes and office in panic. However, this time the earthquake has occurred in Taiwan. The tremors of the earthquake were so fast that people were scared.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), on Tuesday (June 10, 2025) in Taiwan, there was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake. The United States Geological Survey Agency said that the epicenter of the earthquake was at a depth of 31 km from 71 km from the city of Halian.

Us tariff on taiwan: Taiwan has reacted to the imposition of 32% tariff from US President Donald Trump. Taiwan has described it as completely wrong and very regrettable. Also said that he will file a complaint with America about this. Taiwan cabinet spokesperson Lee-all-three said in an official news press release, “The proposed tax rate will harm the real economic and trade situation between Taiwan and the United States. It is wrong for Taiwan.”

Taiwan tried to avoid Trump’s tariff by increasing investment in the US, promising excess purchases of American energy and more defense spending. But in the wide new tariff of Trump declared overnight, Taiwan’s decision to include 32 percent of heavy tax on imports is wrong.

US $ 73.9 billion trade in 2024
Taiwan’s trade with the US is the seventh highest compared to any country, which reached US $ 73.9 billion in 2024. The US has about 60 percent of the information and communication technology product or ICT of the US, which includes semiconductor chips. Lee said Surplus reflects America’s growing demand for Taiwan’s semiconductor and other technical products, which had increased tariffs and export controls tariffs and export controls to China during their first term by Trump.

America put semiconductor chips out
Lee said Taiwan’s increase in American demand for ICT products reflects Taiwan’s significant contribution to the American economy and national security, yet Taiwan is now being affected by high tariffs. The proposed tariff does not accurately indicate the actual status of Taiwan-America trade relations. Semiconductor chips, an area on which Taiwan dominates, which has been the cause of a confrontation between Washington and Taipei. The US has kept it out of the tariff.
