We are building 5 massive new semi foundries in the U.S. as I type this, two by TSCC. most people are unaware that China's chip foundries suck, and they can't run advanced foundries at all. Despite all the hype you hear about China's advanced tech. The only strategic reason to support Taiwan is for chips, but in a year we won't need them anymore.
Other than that I care about the plight of the Taiwanese about as much as I care about that of the Ukrainians. We gave up pushing back on China under Carter in the '70s when we dumped Taiwan and recognized China. Then we spent 40 years building China into a juggernaut - and now you want us to fight them over Taiwan? Lol.
I love you Sam, but how high are you? This cake was baked a long time ago and even then, it was never our business. This idea that we are to enforce a 'rules based Western liberal order' and protect other nations 'freedom' is anathematic the founding principles of our nation. We got sucked into being an empire by Wilson and then FDR, but we can change our mind any time. Like right now. Taiwan should prepare to peacefully re-integrate with China. We should focus on decoupling from China and isolating it. China is dependent on other nations for survival - food and energy, unlike Russia, or the U.S. if we stopped acting like idiots.
Simple question for all readers here: How many of you would send your son or father or brother off to fight and die for Taiwanese liberty? Or go yourself? Nope - not me, nor mine. Not worth it. If I'm honest, I don't care about any other nation enough to fight for it. Just this one. Which is why I'm only member of my family not to join the military. I just couldn't sign up to be a hit man for these disgusting hacks we elect, and it was not long after Vietnam. I was like, am I really going to sign up for a role where some political idiot just throws my life away as a virtue signal? Nah, no dice.
How could anyone disagree with me? How many of you think the defense of Taiwan is something we should concern ourselves with at all?
Klaus Schwab and Xi Jinping seem to be using the same 'playbook' for the future of the world (control of people, starvation, etc.) .. Yet, no comment on their meeting in the past. Interesting.
Excellent article and on point. My guess is our development of Chip factories will be delayed & not able to produce advanced chips when Taiwan gets blockaded. This would be the equivalent of the Chinese using compromised officials to disinform the American public.
