[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]France assesses, correctly, that they have nothing to do with whatever issue the US decided it has with china vs Taiwan. It’s far and no one cares.[/quote]

Actually everyone should care. Taiwan Semiconductor makes the vast majority of the world’s semiconductors and damn near all of the advanced microchips that are used by to operate our cars, planes, iPads, laptops, phones, etc. when I learned about this I was furious with the US for putting our national security in one place. And yes, Taiwan Semi makes the chips for our drones, rockets, missiles, etc. thank goodness Biden came up with the chip act to bring some of thes chip manufacturing back to the US. But for now, if China took over Taiwan, China would be holding all the keys to technology and advancement. Even Nvidia, Apple and Broadcom rely on TSMC to manufacture their advanced chips. And that’s why Taiwan is important to us at this time in history.

Btw, for the poster screeching about Pelosi going to Taiwan, I agree that was a bad move. No subtlety at all when the USA cannot afford to go to war with China at this time. However, I hope that poster was screeching about McCarthy’s welcoming visit and hosting of the Taiwan President a couple of weeks ago.

I don't understand how this isn't considered more of an emergency crisis. More important to build manufacturing here than spending money supporting Ukraine. Priority should be on building semiconductor and microchip factories in the US. [/quote]

The fact you haven’t been paying attention, doesn’t mean everyone else is just jerking off.   Please read. Gift link from NYT.   5 minute read.  Note that the expansions are running into problems because of concerns over culture clashes (aKA, educated Asian workers do not want to work in Kari Lake lane) and the fact that US workers have insufficient work ethic and STEM knowledge.
