The china strangely you may think object. It is like British is passing a law finally to give up USA and USA object. But china do. And they know once cut off the USA can recognise Taiwan, unlike in the past it is a bit of conflict. What is Taiwan - oh the whole china. Now what is Taiwan? An island ruled by an independent state from at least 1949 (or legally from 1911 one should say). It even has a us-Taiwan act link even after 1979s.
It is good timing to try this move. But before that ...And hence all civilian infra is moving out from china by their allies and USA may have to think about getting key assets duplicate from Taiwan.
No one Outside china want war. But you have to prepare for it and avoid a total disruption of you own country and life. Chip is strategic. And the skill set not just the tools.
Higher post same idea as my previous post. Taiwan need a deal as USA cannot be trusted in international conflict. It is ok for Korea and Japan perhaps, but would USA gave up Taiwan when the first USA soldier died. We are talking about a country that has nuclear bomb and the means to bomb USA mainland.
Some deal needed.
