It doesn't work like that. Over 90% of the machines that Taiwan needs for chip making are made in Europe. If anyone has a hold on chip making it's ASML.

I wish you were right about this.

But then again, why does the US risk going to war with China over Taiwan?

You think it's because democracy, liberty and or human rights?

It is very obviously strong geopolitical interest.

Oh no, what a blatant hypocrisy.

The West wants liberty and democracy to prevail in the world and doesn't want to lose them, thus they care of their geopolitical interests. Who would have thought!
