Chinese reunification with Taiwan to devastate US, Commerce Sec. says
Chinese reunification with Taiwan to devastate US, Commerce Sec. says
US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo says if China were to reunify with Taiwan, the US would be devastated due to the ramifications that would hold for the chips market.
I wonder if the US simps on that island even realize that’s the real reason they’re invested in the place, the empire never does anything out of the goodness of their heart, lol
When I'm bored I bait libs by telling them that as soon as the fabs in Arizona are spun up and producing at capacity the US will forget where Taiwan even is. Their denials give me strength.
I've been thinking probably in our lifetime we could see Taiwan lose all of it's wealth once the Americans (and probably Europe too) have got done robbing them blind.
"Hey, help us build those fancy chip factories over in America. Oops it's our technology now. Too bad".
I don't know what the timeline actually looks like but its gonna be both funny and sad just how many people screaming "TAIWAN IS A COUNTRY" anytime the words Chinese Taipei get whispered just straight up evaporate when the inevitable happens. Its hilarious how literally none of them have any clue why they give a shit about what the region is named.
I mean if they were smart enough to realize they're just pawns they wouldn't be in the position they're in.
I can’t say I agree with this. Smart or stupid has little do with it. The RoC had their teeth kicked in by the PLA and were forced to become a protectorate of the capitalist hegemon or face the People’s justice.
The fact that they have managed to position themselves as an indispensable producer in the global supply chain has served them really well so far, and I don’t think they’re unaware of it.
The US pushing for a tech transfer is a massive threat to their security, and I’m sure it’s not happening without enormous pressure and not a little push back. I’m certain that the difficulties faced by the new projects are at least in part deliberate on the part of the Taiwanese.
They understand perfectly well
From my reading, the people are way less US worshipping than Philippines or Vietnam
And TSMC of course. No idea about the Taiwan government
MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE BUILT ALL OUR CHIP MAKING INFRASTRUCTURE THERE HUH
Taiwan is Arrakis
Paul, but instead of "blue eyes from the Spice" its just the old 90's Intel commercials with the Intel bunny dancers
The RoC did that to make itself valuable to the US. It was a smart move.
What? The economy? You mean it's not about upholding the Rules-Based International Order™?
it's the other way around :)
Just keep farming more potatoes, oh yea I forgot, we use most of the landmass for cattle for America burger. No chips for the Yankees lol
Hahhaha I no longer support Chinese reconciliation a thousand years of suffering on all cattle ranchers. I support wolf rehabilitation not because I love wolves but because I hate ranchers (actually no wolves are cool and we should help them by feeding them all the ranchers).
Wolves: highly social pack animal that improves both flora and fauna in their local environment
Ranchers: highly antisocial dipshit humans that act like it's still 1884 and destroy the land for borgor
The western brainpan is so poisoned by the carnage and misery we have imposed on the world over the past 5 centuries that we can’t imagine working with other cultures instead of dominating them.
No wonder they accuse of of 'white genocide'. World peace WOULD be a cultural genocide on crackers.
Bro you're not supposed to just say that.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
