China doesn’t need to take TAIWAN. 46% of the population identifies as Mainlanders. China just needs to take TSMC. If China blew up TSMC the US would have no further use for TAIWAN. Taiwan’s largest customer is Mainland China. China can take Taiwan diplomatically once TSMC is removed. Whether China removes the EUV lithography machines first is irrelevant. They really only have to remove certain parts of the machines.
At 99 years of age, Henry Kissinger has told the US to stop antagonizing China by parochial unschooled sentiments of local US populist politicians. China is not going to disappear. This nancy Kerrigan kneecapping US foreign policy will backfire. Protectionism has always failed. The US is not big enough to sustain its monopoly of the US Dollar Reserve. Like all monopolies, they all fold.
One more point… A US Military General talking head said that if Taiwan is invaded by the Mainland,, they should destroy TSCM. Why on earth would Taiwan do that? If Taiwan were smart they would Unify with the Mainland and secure their local gov control, similar to Macau but their foreign military alliance would be over. China doesn’t need to take Taiwan, they only need to destroy TSMC.
China is playing the long game and has learned that zerg-rushing like Russia did with Ukraine is a big no-no.

It's so fucking funny that you guys were talking so hard for years and now you're speaking all diplomatically oh nNOO ON OahHAHAHAHAH
Luke Watson
>fake news coming from DailyMail, some trash UK tabloids gimme proper chinese sauce protip: you can't
TSMC doesn't have the full cycle of the chip production iirc it doesn't even make its own lithography machines, but uses the Dutch ones

You think a superpower like China, despite being some commie trash would take the bait in killing Pelosi and triggering WW3? China only warned grave consequences that'll happen for the future. They aren't dumb like Putin for taking the bait and finding themselves in a proxy war (which is what exactly the US wants them to be in)
>If Taiwan were smart they would Unify with the Mainland and secure their local gov control, similar to Macau
haha very funny

>you think after all these threats that they would follow through on their threats? Of course not, they've always been loud barking bitches who talk hard but never actually do anything, like NK. But at least they shoot missiles near Japan and Korea.

Walk it back, yellowboy, walk it back. When you said you would shoot down her plane, you never really meant that right?
Luke Mitchell
Also, officially only one Superpower now.

China sees Taiwan as China. Taiwan isn't an oppressive hellhole despite being ethnically Chinese. Taiwan, despite being a tiny country, produces the height of humanity's progress to date in computer chips. China will never get a supercomputer worth a damn. The cognitive dissonance that oppressive rule is incompatible with progress is what's causing their shitfit.
