Replying to (Not Spooky) Spark Dragon #sparkdragoon China is utterly dependent on the Taiwan chips as well, even though they have stopped getting most of their chips from them, most advanced tech requires the Taiwanese chips. Look at the phones the Chinese companies make and they are only as advanced as the iPhone 8? The chips are also just recycled or stockpiles from earlier purchased products. The thought of china going into Taiwan and blowing it up would hurt china more so because then no one in the world is able to produce the chips they themselves need. China wants the technical know how, the economic power, and the factories to reproduce the chips for themselves.
Agreed, but we weren't saying China would blow it up. Pika was saying if China ever attempted to pull a Ukraine on Taiwan then the occupied Americans would go full scorched earth on the factories to prevent China from having the chips.
