    What happens to Taiwan when China is competitive on chips?

    I could see them deciding to invade, Taiwan destroys their fabs, and then China gets a monopoly but also sanctions.

    The west ultimately ends up unable to build chips and China has a global monopoly.

      China’s not going to invade anything, popular support for peaceful reunification is higher than ever and the US is giving Taiwan and the rest of the world new reasons to distance themselves from us all the time. All China has to do is sit back and watch as we voluntarily shit the bed, they’ll get Taiwan and probably more with no sanctions or bloodshed.

        Yeah that tracks. No, support for Taiwanese unification with China is not gaining support. Look at the posturing China is doing with its military. Look at the steps Japan is starting to take to prepare for this possibility.
