Finally back to winning. I was beginning to doubt Trump over the last few months.

By 2050-60, they will be down to 750M. It is hard to express how devastating it will be for their country.
I guess when you kill girl babies, and put many up for adoption, things go bad.
Actions have consequences.

I personally would be throwing money at TSMC to get them to up their game in the US.
Isn't this already happening?
Of course, the long term objective for us decreases Taiwan security, arguably

Their silence and inaction for the last 4 years, and now, is a testament to how focused they are on Taiwan.
Yep. If I lived or had any assets in Taiwan I'd be moving them out much sooner than later

Yes.
Their Fab1 (4nm) has been in production since '24, Fab2 (3nm) is expected to be in production in '27, and they just broke ground on Fab3 (2nm) and expect production around '29.
I want more, though. I want their R&D built up in the US so that we don't lose that if Taiwan falls. I also want the full supply chain built up like they have in Taiwan.
This is a big security issue and much more of an issue than being energy independent.

If you are going to use AI, at least take the time to remove the obvious signs of it

Forgot to address this.
I have to say, the only reason I give a shite about Taiwan is their manufacturing, primarily their high-end semiconductors. In my perfect world, if China is to the point that Taiwan's fall is guaranteed. I would bomb the fabs (with notice so the Taiwanese souls could get out).
I would be doing everything I could to get TSMC to move as many people, R&D, and production to the US as possible.

China isn’t “silent”—they’re calculating. They don’t react emotionally or publicly because they don’t need to. They’re watching how far things escalate, securing their energy, and positioning themselves for whatever comes next. That’s how they operate.
And this isn’t “the kind of diplomacy they respect.” China doesn’t respect unpredictability or public strong-arming—they exploit it. What they respond to is stability, leverage, and long-term positioning. Moves like this don’t earn respect; they create openings.
What’s actually concerning is the confidence behind your comment. This isn’t a simple show of strength—it’s a situation involving global oil flow, major trade routes, and countries that don’t respond predictably under pressure. Misreading that as “they respect this” is a serious oversimplification.
And reducing it to slogans ignores the real risk: escalation here doesn’t stay contained. It hits economies, alliances, and stability far beyond the original move.
This isn’t something to celebrate or joke about. It’s a high-stakes situation with consequences that don’t care about anyone’s political side.
Not an SEC football game.
Stop using AI to write your thoughts. This is garbage.

Perhaps you don’t realize some people/posters here can actually write complete sentences with coherent thoughts.
Just read my post history.
But I can also get to your intellectual level if you so need and suggest you eat a super sized sack of hairy dicks.

Not sure if it’s AI, but he isn’t wrong.
Lots of countries plan short term, China plans short and long term probably better than anyone.
Last time Trump had them over a barrel with trade deals they released Covid. With a disclaimer in the trade deals nullifying them in case of pandemic.
Don’t underestimate them.

No. You think they do. Like another poster said, they killed a lot of female babies. They've had to reverse that policy, bit too late. Idk about you, but men can't populate the planet on their own.

I randomly started thinking about how "we" have been discussing the coming demographic collapse of many countries (Western countries, Russia, China, et al) but at the same time "we" are showing grave concern about what to do when AI and AI-controlled robotics take over huge swaths of jobs. A tiny pixel sized led deep in the cavernous expanse of my otherwise empty brain bucket flickered on. It would seem that if the timing lines up, significantly lower populations could dovetail perfectly with a large job takeover by AI/robotics. I am not saying it will happen, but it struck me as possible and, at the very least, will have some mitigating impact.
I should point out I am agnostic about the demographic collapse theories in part because I am of enough to remember the population bomb theories of the early 70s. Paul Erlich, the MIT study, and the Nixon administration's study that advocated on leveling out population growth. In those ~55 years the world population has more than doubled while hunger seems to have dropped off worldwide significantly by percentage of population. It just seems that despite the dire predictions a half century later we don't seem to be in a population crisis of too many as now we are talking about a population crisis of too few.
* obviously there is a discussion on the impact of who is and who isn't have children but in my mind it is a different discussion built on different pillars
