China is responding sternly to a U.S. congressional delegation’s visit to Taiwan, demanding the U.S. stop any official contact with the self-governing island.

    Why the fuck can’t China just leave Taiwan alone? The Communists won the entire continental part of China and everything else besides Taiwan, and they got the Communist regime they wanted uncontested. Why do they have to be such sore winners?

      Taiwan has all the most advanced chip fabrication factories on the planet. China wants them.

      Also the rulers of Taiwan are basically Chinese exiles kicked out by communists iirc.

        If China tries to take Taiwan they’ll just blow all the chip fabs, I think the CCP is more interested in getting more access to the sea.
