Taiwanese companies operating in China are looking at "decoupling" the global supply chain from that country.

!

Leading Taiwanese technology firms are looking at relocating their manufacturing bases to India to bring down their exposure to the Chinese market, top policymakers in the Taiwan government have said, amid the self-governed island's increasingly tense relations with China.

Deputy Minister for Taiwan's National Development Kao Shien-Quey said there is huge scope for collaboration between New Delhi and Taipei in areas of emerging and critical technologies including manufacturing of semiconductors and electronics equipment.

In an interaction with a group of international journalists, she said major Taiwanese technology giants are looking at India as a key destination to strengthen their global supply chains.

Kristy Tsun-tzu Hsu, the director at premier policy think-tank Taiwan ASEAN Studies Center at Chung-Hua Institution of Economic Research, described India as an important country for Taiwan and said Taiwanese companies operating in China are looking at "decoupling" the global supply chain from that country while maintaining it for the domestic consumers.

Leading Taiwanese companies are increasingly looking at relocating their production bases from China to countries in Europe, North America, the US and India in view of Washington's trade dispute with Beijing and the Chinese military's increasing muscle-flexing around Taiwan.

The relationship between China and Taiwan has become increasingly strained after US House Speaker Nancy Palosi's visit to the island in August last year.

India is keen on having production facilities of leading Taiwanese chip producers including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC), the world's largest chipmaker whose clients included Apple.

"With the larger context of global supply chain restructuring and the 'China plus one' strategy, I am sure that we will see an acceleration of collaboration between the two sides in the field of semiconductor and information and communication industry," Shien-quey said.

It is learnt that a sizable number of Taiwanese companies are going to set up production bases at two industrial parks in India which are being set up exclusively for leading industries from Taiwan.

Talks are in the final stages for a Taiwanese semiconductor company to set up a manufacturing facility in India, an official said on condition of unanimity.

Taiwan produces over close to 70 percent of the world's semiconductors and over 90 percent of the most advanced chips that are required for almost all electronic equipment such as smartphones, car components, data centres, fighter jets and AI technologies.

The 'China-Plus-one' strategy aims at encouraging businesses to expand their operations outside of China while maintaining their presence in that country.

"We are actively promoting the diversification of the production bases of the Taiwanese companies and we would like them to move their production bases to other countries with a like-minded value system," Shien-quey said.

Tsun-tzu Hsu said the Indian economy is significantly large and the view is that it can provide some opportunity for Taiwan to change its trade dynamics with China.

"It is not only about trade. It is more about strategic collaboration. Our companies were considering moving to India even before the beginning of the US-China trade war because the Indian economy is so large that it can provide some opportunity to Taiwan to change the dynamics with China and reduce its dependence on China," she said.

Tsun-tzu Hsu said the Taiwanese government has been trying to negotiate a trade deal with India to expand the trade basket.

Taiwan-based Foxconn, which is Apple's largest supplier, has an iPhone manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu.

The company is now setting up another iPhone production facility in Karnataka that is expected to start production by April next year.

New Delhi and Taipei inked a landmark bilateral investment pact nearly five years back that seeks to protect Taiwanese investment in India.

The bilateral trade between India and Taiwan is on an upswing. The volume of trade increased from $2 billion (roughly Rs. 16,361 crore) in 2006 to $8.9 billion (roughly Rs. 72,806 crore) in 2021.

"Recently, we see new momentum in Taiwanese companies moving to India and expanding their operations. The expansion of Foxconn is one such example," Tsun-tzu Hsu said.

Deputy Minister Shien-quey said there is a lot of room for collaboration between India and Taiwan in the area of semiconductor manufacturing.

"India is strong in its software capabilities while Taiwan is strong in hardware and manufacturing in the ICT sector. There is a lot of room for complimentary collaboration here. Secondly, India enjoys a very huge domestic market. So this is also an incentive for investment," she said.

The deputy minister said the operations by Foxconn in India are expected to encourage more technology companies to invest in India.

"Since Foxconn is already there (India) and some of the suppliers in the lower part of the supply chain for Foxconn are also in India, I am sure that this will attract more companies to invest in the upstream of the value chain," she said.

China considers Taiwan as its breakaway province and insists it should be unified with the mainland, by force if necessary. Taiwan, however, sees itself as completely distinct from China.

India does not have formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan but both sides have trade and people-to-people relations.

यूनिफॉर्म सिविल कोड (UCC) को लेकर लॉ एंड ऑर्डर मामलों की पार्लियामेंट्री कमेटी आज मीटिंग करेगी। इस मीटिंग में UCC पर ड्रॉफ्ट तैयार कर रहे लॉ कमीशन को भी बुलाया गया है।

मीटिंग की अध्यक्षता भाजपा के राज्यसभा सांसद सुशील मोदी करेंगे। जिसमें 31 सांसद और कमेटी के सभी मेंबर्स शामिल होंगे। सभी से UCC पर राय मांगी जाएगी और उन पर विचार होगा।

सिब्बल बोले- UCC पर बहस थॉटलेस एक्सरसाइज इस बैठक से दो दिन पहले राज्यसभा सांसद कपिल सिब्बल ने UCC पर बहस को थॉटलेस एक्सरसाइज करार दिया। उन्होंने पूछा- UCC के तहत क्या ‘यूनिफॉर्म’ करने की कोशिश हो रही है? अनुच्छेद 23 के तहत परंपराएं ही कानून हैं। सरकार को बताना चाहिए कि क्या सिर्फ हिंदुओं पर लागू होने वाला HUF हटा दिया जाएगा? सरकार को यह स्पष्ट करना चाहिए कि आखिर सरकार क्या समान करने की कोशिश कर रही है।

केंद्रीय मंत्री पीयूष गोयल ने UCC के एग्जीक्यूशन पर सवाल उठाने पर कपिल सिब्बल और कांग्रेस पर निशाना साधा। उन्होंने न्यूज एजेंसी ANI से बात करते हुए कहा- समय की मांग है कि सभा पार्टियां एकजुट होकर इसे कानूनी जामा पहनाएं।

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने भी पांच बार अलग-अलग फैसलों को UCC को लाने की बात कही है। सिब्बल अल्पसंख्यकों के लिए किए गए विकास कार्यों को भूल गए हैं। मोदी सरकार जितना काम किसी ने नहीं किया। मुझे लगता है कि UCC के लिए सभी दलों के नेता समर्थन करेंगे।

UCC पर छिड़ी बहस के बीच केंद्र सरकार ने 20 जुलाई से मानसून सत्र बुलाने की घोषणा कर दी है, जो 11 अगस्त तक चलेगा।

UCC पर बहस क्यों शुरू हो गई प्रधानमंत्री मोदी ने 27 जून को भोपाल में भाजपा के 10 लाख बूथ कार्यकर्ताओं को संबोधित करते हुए देशभर में यूनिफॉर्म सिविल कोड जल्द लागू करने की वकालत की थी।

PM ने कहा- यूनिफॉर्म सिविल कोड पर लोगों को भड़काया जा रहा है। एक घर दो कानूनों से नहीं चल सकता। BJP यह भ्रम दूर करेगी।

विपक्षी पार्टियों ने क्या कहा

देशभर में यूनिफॉर्म सिविल कोड लागू करने के PM के बयान का आम आदमी पार्टी (AAP) और उद्धव ठाकरे गुट की शिवसेना ने समर्थन किया है। हालांकि, उद्धव ने सरकार के स्पष्टीकरण की शर्त रखी है।

शरद पवार के नेतृत्व वाली राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस पार्टी (NCP) ने न तो UCC का समर्थन किया है और न ही सपोर्ट किया है यानी वो न्यूट्रल है। वहीं, नेशनल कॉन्फ्रेंस लीडर फारूक अब्दुल्ला ने कहा है कि सरकार को UCC लागू करने के नतीजों पर बार-बार विचार कर लेना चाहिए।

फारूक अब्दुल्ला ने 29 जून को ईद की नमाज के बाद UCC पर बयान दिया। उन्होंने कहा- सरकार इसके नतीजों पर ठीक से विचार कर ले

UCC के समर्थन में शिवसेना (ऊद्धव गुट) और AAP

• शिवसेना (उद्धव गुट): अध्यक्ष उद्धव ने MPLB के मेंबर्स से बुधवार को कहा कि हम UCC का समर्थन करते हैं, लेकिन हम सरकार से स्पष्टीकरण भी चाहते हैं। हम चाहते हैं कि सरकार बताए कि इसका विभिन्न समुदायों पर क्या असर पड़ सकता है। साथ ही UCC पर अब चर्चा शुरू करने के पीछे मोदी सरकार का मकसद पाक-साफ नहीं है।
• AAP: AAP के राज्यसभा सांसद संदीप पाठक ने कहा- हम UCC का समर्थन करते हैं, क्योंकि आर्टिकल 44 भी कहता है कि देश में UCC होना चाहिए। हालांकि, इसके लिए सभी धर्म के लोगों, राजनीतिक पार्टियों और संगठनों से सलाह-मशविरा कर आम सहमति बनाई जानी चाहिए।
• बसपा: BSP सुप्रीमो मायावती ने भी UCC का समर्थन किया है। उन्होंने कहा- उनकी पार्टी समान नागरिक संहिता के विरोध में नहीं है। मगर संविधान इसे थोपने का समर्थन नहीं करता है। UCC लागू करने के ‌BJP मॉडल पर हमारी असहमति है। भाजपा UCC के जरिए संकीर्ण मानसिकता की राजनीति करने की कोशिश कर रही है।

UCC के विरोध में पार्टियों के बयान

• NCP: पार्टी ने UCC के मुद्दे पर वर्किंग कमेटी की मीटिंग में चर्चा की। इसके बाद नेशनल सेक्रेटरी नसीम सिद्दिकी ने कहा- हम ना तो UCC का समर्थन करते हैं और न ही उसका विरोध। जनता और इससे जुड़े वर्गों के बीच इस पर चर्चा की जरूरत है।
• नेशनल कॉन्फ्रेंस: फारूक अब्दुल्ला ने कहा कि सरकार UCC पर ज्यादा जोर ना डाले। इसे लागू करने के परिणामों पर बार-बार विचार कर ले। देश विभिन्नताओं से भरा है और अलग धर्मों-जातियों के लोग यहां रहते हैं। मुस्लिमों का अपना अलग शरीयत कानून है। सरकार सोच ले, तूफान आ सकता है।

• DMK : CM एमके स्टालिन ने कहा- मोदी सांप्रदायिक भावनाओं को भड़काकर और देश में भ्रम पैदा करके 2024 का लोकसभा चुनाव जीतने की सोच रहे हैं।
