One good aspect is that this might drive much chip production back to the US.
It is hard to make good money in hard sciences.
Who cares about Taiwan?
Don't we have enough problems at home?

It takes minimum 5 yrs to see production if it ever happens. It's a great start from national security point of view.

They can go warp speed on it.
Misc saysYes, they have an optics problem concerning their Uyghurs and their education efforts to bring this group into the 21st century, but we have similar problems concerning a large portion of the Blacks in this country.
This is a false claim.
US blacks are not in labor camps. It's not similar in the least.
If you're a poor black guy, you become slave labor.
If you're a white guy smoking crack cocaine, nothing happens to you especially if you have some wealth or celebrity.
The Pentagon's first software chief RESIGNS in protest because the US has 'already lost' the AI war with China and is '20 years behind its technology'
The Pentagon's first ever chief software officer Nicolas Chaillan said he resigned over U.S. inaction on technological developments in the military
He says China has already won the Artificial Intelligence battle
'Right now, it's already a done deal – it is already over in my opinion,' he said in an interview published Sunday. 'Whether it takes a war or not is kind of anecdotal'
Comments come as China threatened Taiwan with military action as it plans to 'reunify' with the island...
China, the world's second largest economy, is likely to dominate many of the key emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, synthetic biology and genetics within a decade or so, according to Western intelligence assessments.
The communist nation is set to dominate the future of the world, controlling everything from media narratives to geopolitics, Chaillan said. ...
Tensions in Asia are high right now as the Chinese Communist Party detailed its intentions to reunify with Taiwan.
Chinese state media The Global Times threatened on Sunday that the CCP 'will have little choice but to take Taiwan to the battlefield' after the island's president, Tsai Ing-wen, vowed to resist 'threats' from Beijing.
Quoting from 'experts' within China , the paper accused 'secessionist' Tsai of stirring up tensions while warning that 'resisting reunification by force will only bring doom more quickly.'
I am worried about china taking over semiconductor expertise of Taiwan.
TSMC/UMC etc. should build fabs in US for diversification.
Taiwan/US should also keep explosives ready to "blow up" fabs if china ever near control of island.
Trump told South Korea, Japan and Taiwan to get their own fucking nukes.
The US cannot be trusted.
Afghanistan showed that in spades. For 20 years we schooled Afghan women and said they could be what they wanted. Biden fucked up the withdrawal and pretty much condemned them to lives of slavery.
Any country not getting their own nukes at this point needs new leadership.

No Patrick, I think you're wrong here.
If you're a white guy smoking crack cocaine, nothing happens to you especially if you have some wealth or celebrity.
If you're a poor black guy, you become slave labor.
Read the 13th amendment again, we really never eliminated slave labor. The PRINCIPLE reason that pot is sill illegal in most of the country, is because if it's legal, there would be a lot less slave labor in our for profit prison system.
every article that’s ever appeared in Rolling Stone on the topic has lied on factual matters multiple times. They’ve run several articles and I don’t know where they get their data from, but it’s not only wrong, it’s actually completely fabricated.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Amid a series of troublesome violations of Taiwan's air defence zone by China, President Biden took to the airwaves to address some of the concerns that the free country of Taiwan might be in danger of being invaded by the brutal Chinese communist state.
"Nothing to worry about folks, invasion is all part of the process. Happens all the time," said Biden. "If China invades Taiwan, we'll be sure to get everyone out of there, just like we did Afghanistan! And then we'll leave 80 billion dollars of weapons for the Chinese to use as sort of a housewarming gift. It's the least I can do for President Xi after he bought one of my son Hunter's paintings!"
The press pool erupted into chaos as Biden was dragged offstage by aides.
"The president was just kidding," said Psaki. "The U.S. will always remain true to our allies, and if we don't we'll just circle back to that later."
When the press continued to shout questions, Psaki responded by diving out a window.
President Xi announced that he can't wait to welcome back the people of Taiwan to the warm and loving embrace of Communism and then murder everyone.
The canton of Berne derives a considerable revenue by lending a part of its treasure to foreign states; that is, by placing it in the public funds of the different indebted nations of Europe, chiefly in those of France and England. The security of this revenue must depend, first, upon the security of the funds in which it is placed, or upon the good faith of the government which has the management of them; and, secondly, upon the certainty or probability of the continuance of peace with the debtor nation. In the case of a war, the very first act of hostility, on the part of the debtor nation, might be the forfeiture of the funds of its creditor.
So if China goes to war with the US, the very first act of the US would be to nullify our debts to China.

Foreign governments do not voluntarily divest themselves of treasuries (except the case of Venezuela and that didn't work out so well for them).

Did Venezuela sell all their US Treasury bonds?
It takes minimum 5 yrs to see production if it ever happens.
Russia has been stockpiling gold, have surpluses and are basically ready for this in that sanctions won't do shit.
FuckCCP89 saysWho cares about Taiwan?
Elena.
i'm glad Elena isn't my muse. I'm sappy enough.
Why would China invade Taiwan?
If they militarily tried to grab Taiwan, and the US simply stood by; Japan and South Korea would immediately stockpile so many nukes on hair triggers they would get what they get.
I heard that only stupid people buy gold.

Now let us look at an actual military operation where the Chinese military attempts to invade Taiwan. Ask the Nazis and the US Navy; it is very hard to invade an island. Nazi Germany could not even mount an invasion to overpower the UK. The US Navy struggled with all its island invasions in World War II. To invade an island, you need absolute air and naval superiority. Mainland China has an impressive military with large numbers. They would face US forces, Taiwan forces, and possible Japanese forces. They would not have absolute control of the skies and the sea. The Chinese military could not afford to inflict too much damage on Taiwan for the economic reasons cited above. They would also be sensitive to world public opinion.
In the end of the day, their only route to reclaiming what they see is rightfully theirs is "winning through intimidation." They will have to use psychology to intimate all opponents. The Japanese did this brilliantly in Singapore at the start of World War II.
