> All your points consider what China can do but not how others would respond.

US backed off last year when there were talks about protecting Taiwan. They pulled Patriot missiles from Taiwan and South Korea too.

China and Japan have a beef. Considering the atrocities Japan did in China, the conversation won't be friendly.

None of these are good for Taiwan, during the times when its political system is failing.

> No where near close. At least not production grade at massive scale.

It looks like you have knowledge of the status of that super-secret government project. Can you share some details then?

> Doesn't work. If they do that the US, JP and others can also blockade around Shanghai, Hong Kong and the other ports.

US cannot blockade Hormuz, as we've seen. JP cannot do that with their current constitution unless they change it (the current government is on the road to it, though).

What we've also seen is that Chinese fishing fleet had a military blockade exercise [0].

> Taiwan is not just TSMC. There are thousands to millions of things involving Taiwan you're likely not aware of and they might not even be AI or semi related.

All is around semiconductors.

If China really wants to fuck with Taiwan, they had better do it soon while the most incompetent US administration ever to hold office is still there. Because there is change coming to the US and the next president isn't likely to be such a complete moron.

All past elections prove you otherwise.

If you honestly think that, then you are not paying attention, or you're just a typical troll.

Maybe you are? Because so far, I backed up my opinion about China vs Taiwan with facts. And you backed up yours with wishes.

This is not a fact. This is bullshit trolling.

This pointless internet interaction is over.

Apparently some people think republicans were the only presidents elected in the last 25+ years?

Even senile Joe Biden was more competent than the current malicious moron in power.
