You realize that USA is already economically dependent on China, right? No one can easily replace half a trillion per year in exported goods.

Taiwan being an autonomous province of PRC would not significantly change the current economic relationship between USA and China. In fact, it would probably improve it by resolving unnecessary tension.

I see it differently. China and USA are both dependant on Taiwan.

China and USA are diverging with or without war. The question is will Taiwan's capacity be claimed by China, or will it be massively downgraded.
