wait. they had trade? til
Yeah. Taiwan is arguably the world’s most important player in semiconductors. It’s where the most cutting edge fabs are, it’s a big reason China and the west are quarreling over Taiwan, and why Biden has been trying to dump a shit load of money into catching up with Taiwan.
China invades Taiwan, the pandemic chip shortages are going to look like child’s play.
The trade with China is a a big part why they haven’t been invaded yet. This may speed up the timeline for China’s invasion.
I wonder why there's no Pacific NATO equivalent. China seems on the brink of invading a different country like every week.
China's literally falling apart from natural disasters, corruption and incompetence... they couldn't invade north Korea..
Be careful, we thourght the same about Russia a couple years ago.
No, a couple of years ago we thought that Russia would steamroll over any neighbour they tried to invade.
