The Chinese leader's message in San Francisco got the attention of U.S. officials because it was delivered at a meeting that was intended to reduce tensions.
They aren’t. They’re trying to reform their military, and they’re in a better position to do so. But if they invaded today it would be really bad for them.
It would be bad for everyone. Not just in military casualties - from my shit analysis it would bring the world to a halt with chip manufacturing, all the good in the western world are made in China and Asia. Just thinking about what I know makes my head hurt
Eh, manufacturing is moving more into SE Asia and India now. And chip production in the US is coming back online. There would be shortages but not anything unmanageable.
You are not taking into account china can lock down shipping from it’s neighborhood of SE Asia and India, and last I looked into it, Taiwan produced a staggering number of chips compared to every other chip producer combined - last I checked TSMC was still producing over 90% of the worlds chips (and I checked a few weeks ago)

TSMC has factories online in the US.
Also, if China starts going after global shipping then they’re going to very quickly find out what it’s like to fight the entire world.
