WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether it’s tapioca balls or computer chips, Taiwan is stretching toward the United States and away from China — the world’s No. 2 economy that threatens to take the democratically ruled island by force if necessary.
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.

Added to OP
Well yeah, didn’t the US impose trade restrictions with China even on countries that aren’t the US?
