The best thing we can do is re-establish large scale semiconductor manufacturing in the US. If we do that, the impact of China taking Taiwan would be minimal.


Or just talk to the Japanese.

They enjoy talking with the Chinese.

We need to do that just because we need to do it, I agree.

However, I don't think it solves the whole problem. If we allow China to do that without stopping them, it might be Japan or South Korea next, and it might happen by pulling N. Korea away from Russia and solidifying a stronger alliance between the two, which nobody needs.

The only thing that the Chinese like more than taking back Taiwan is making the Taiwanese, Japanese and Americans think they want to take Taiwan back.

Think about it. We underwrite their economic security via our Navy protecting sea routes that their oil flows through.

The Chinese would consider anyone blowing up 3 Gorges to be on par with a nuclear attack and strike back accordingly.


Well it sounds like they should not invade Taiwan then

Yeah, and say goodbye to all of China's global trade overnight. It would bankrupt them in under 24hrs.
