There are multiple fabs being built in the US right now to grow our capacity, which we had but it was small. It wasn't being done as much before because of how incredibly expensive setting up the fabs are for the modern chip sizes being used, it's billions of dollars and if the next smallest chip size is X number of years away you may still be trying to pay off an incredibly expensive fab that is producing something that's "outdated".

Germanys invasion of Poland, brought the west into World War II , I can see the final nail in the geopolitical coffin being China invading its neighbor.
They want Taiwan because of the chip manufacturers and do not want to destroy those facilities... It will be tricky to take Taiwan without this damage...
During WW2 the USMC said an invasion on Formosa would be difficult, and would require close co-ordination of 10,000 Marines. The PLA has few marines in their army. Without US. backing, Tiawan still has highly trained personell with a stockpile of tech weapons and patriotic techs who know how to operate them. They also have a network of caves stocked with ammo. The PLA has no combat experience. On the psychological side many PLA soldiers have relatives on Tiawan, and many TW soldiers are Christian. They have patriotism, because they know they are living in a free country. That's motivation the PLA doesn't have.

Sorry, but I wholeheartedly disagree with this guy. China does not have reason to takeover Taiwan by force, but not for the reasons this guy is stating. It's because China is an extremely patient and very well planning country. What they're doing now is working very well for them, and they're not going to abandon what is obviously working for what is unknown that may or would lead to a potential loss of face, influence, and political capital worldwide without a direct threat launched against them from Taiwan, in which case the world will side with them seeing it as a justified response. And they most definitely are not going to be so short sighted enough to operate on the US "experts" timetable. Even IF China did invade Taiwan by force, they can eat a million casualties like it's nothing, and have all the strategic advantages if such an invasion were to take place. No one else can. So no, I do not think China will forcefully invade Taiwan, but integrate it into their current sphere of control like Hong Kong without a fight, and fulfill once and for all to the world of Sun Tzu's 4000+ year old maxim that "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.".
I totally agree with you. China is not going to invade Taiwan. We’ve been hearing this for years and every year it doesn’t happen. More likely Taiwan will fall under China rule in the future without a shot being fired.
@@rickfastly2671 yall are subhumans wanting to see a first world democratic nation join the an authoritarian CCP. We already betrayed Hong Kong and that going terrible for them. Yall make me more ok with McCarthyism. Yall input should be ignored
Nonsense... China will never invate militarily their own land... Firstly because it's not necessary and secondly because they are smart! Taiwan will eventually be totally locked-in with China, economically and politically pretty soon.. the Taiwanese big business owners spend more time in mane land China than in Taiwan or US.. the "Japan" party is not as popular as it use to be.. and the war in Ukraine and Palestine has wakened up a lot of citizens to realities of what end-up happening to the usa's friendly countries... ...and I may add.. one needs to take a good look at Taiwan's coastline to realize that an amphibious invasion is close to impossible..
Have you ever actually met someone from Taiwan lol? I have and they do not want the CCP. Why you think Palestine is gonna influence them on their relationship with China is absolutely ridiculous. Two very different situations. They just had another election to support another anti CCP candidate.
Right that's why Chinese college students flock to Taiwan for schooling. That's why american contractors were there just last year selling fire arms to citizens and giving them propper training. That's why Taiwan has said multiple times that they are independent, and sovereign from China. Since WW2. That's why Japan has been permitted to rebuild back an offensive military force to counter China in the face of an invasion of Taiwan, Australia and the Philippines would step in. Taiwanese citizen don't vacation to China, they primarily go to Japan, Korea and Australia. I have family in Taiwan. You are a commie NPC, you are paid to praise China and discredit the west in comment sections across social media. You are propagandist spreading misinformation. Taiwan hates China, and so does Hong Kong, Tibet, and India.
Very different situation. CCP can shell Taiwan from inside their borders. Stopping this would be more like Afghanistan. Ports can be shelled into dust, mountains cannot. More infrastructure is required to keep steady supply to Taiwan than it is in Afghanistan. Besides, the Taiwanese are not afghans. They are not a warrior people. They have not been bred for millennia on constant strife with a fierce determination. Taiwanese are decadent consumerist soyboys if we’re being honest
Iraq was just a house cleaning party and an opportunity for some piracy. People have tried to conquer Afghanistan for thousands of years and they can't do it We can't do it Nobody can It's all about identity and ideology and they've been that way since the Stone Age They don't give a shit about Our Western modern anything And they're spread out throughout the entire country these people The everyday Folks that live in the dirt. It would have been best to leave them to their time time warp reality all this years ago
What's interesting is that China regulates the design of all new civilian ferry ships so that they can have a military use as well. That's an easy way to double your military capability without the military paying for it.
@@RolandSpecialSaucewhy not? Are you in love with China’s takeover of Asia and parts of Africa? You love communism? Or are you just a stoner troll who hates the world and loves destruction to make yourself feel better?
Correct me if I'm wrong about this, please. Two major challenges China faces in a potential invasion of Taiwan, which are often not discussed, are related to Taiwan's geography. The island has only two locations that are suitable for amphibious assaults and landings. This limitation allows the significantly outnumbered Taiwanese forces to concentrate their troops and restrict the number of Chinese personnel and equipment that can land on the beach at any given time. The second advantage for Taiwan is the weather conditions in the strait between China and Taiwan. the weather in the strait is so poor that it poses significant risks for any large naval fleet attempting to cross. In fact, there are only two months each year when the weather conditions in the strait are favorable for naval operations. These two advantages mean that Taiwan can anticipate where any Chinese amphibious landings might occur and can also gauge the timeframe for a potential invasion. And these are huge advantages
@neilbond2483 Yes I did. However, airborne operations have very limited capabilities. Airborne forces usually do not have enough supplies for extended combat, so they are primarily used to secure an airhead to facilitate the arrival of larger forces before pursuing other combat goals. Additionally, airborne units are highly susceptible to anti-aircraft weapon systems, and Taiwan possesses a wide range of such weapons and technology, largely due to American support. Furthermore, airborne operations are significantly affected by weather conditions, making them unreliable at times. As a result, airborne units cannot serve as the leading force in any Chinese attempts to invade Taiwan. And lets not forget about The most significant threat to Chinese airborne operations, and to the Chinese military as a whole, the American military, which has committed to defending Taiwan's sovereignty and has pledged to intervene in any Chinese invasion attempt. And also has the best airforce and anti-aircraft weapon systems on the planet
How can they can make chips that we can't or somebody else can't?? Like what the fuc.. everything on this planet worth a damn should say made in the USA on it
A Taiwanese guy who worked for Texas Instruments was lured by the Taiwanese govt. with a lot of money to go there and start chip manufacturing. Chip manufacturing involves nasty carcinogenic chemicals, so I think it was easier to do it there and China where EPA isn't. The new hostile relationship growing with China is now bringing chip mfg back, but under Taiwan Semi Conductor in AZ.
@@rear9259And…? Machines and licenses could be sold here, whether Taiwan stands or not. If the CCP should take Taiwan, how concerned have they shown themselves to be, with patents and licensing?
Well I doubt it would be a ground invasion 😅 Only really leaves Air and Sea. What about all the experts that spoke on the quality of the Chinese weapons.
Imagine your family raising you for decades, only for you to die all across the sea in a conflict between Taiwan and China. How many Americans are willing to let their children die like this?
North Phoenix has a $60+ billion dollar chip manufacturing plant being built over the last 4+ years. They plan on building 3 mega factories just like the ones in Taiwan. These factories are massive and can be seen from the highway.
China has to realize that their trade with the USA would come to abrupt halt. And this goes both ways, too. Remember 2008? Well, this would be much worse. Imagine tens of millions Chinese losing their jobs as the demand has shrunk greatly.
This is stupid. I feel for the Taiwanese but let them take it. Then stop all trade with them. No more oil, no more Australian coal, no more trade, and their food production is severely hampered. Oh, and what good are chip factories if they don't get the input resources to produce. China would set itself back fifty years.
The world is divided into 2. The colonisers and their subjects. The colonisers discovered democracy and their subjects seeing the true intent of what the colonisers are after in their homeland,(that is their resources) discovered communism and socialism as a way to fight back againt their colonisers. Now you know what China and the entire West is about, and how they view the West and its cohorts such as the British, the Aussies, the Canadians, the French and the rest of them. We must never all fail to understand this ..
It has to be by air because their most sophisticated submarine just sank and they were trying to cover it up because of how embarrassing it is 😂😂😂 MADE IN CHINA
This is why Ukrainian is so important. China is watching what we do very closely. If Putin is defeated by Nato and we continue to build on what Biden started diplomatically in bringing Japan and southeast Asia under the same type of umbrella they going to think twice.
Its not about how many ships or how many aircraft. People are completely missing the most important thing. LOGISTICS. China cannot supply their men continuously enough for a ground invasion and occupation. The Chinese soldiers will definitely make it to Taiwan but how long can they last if they are cut off or getting limited supply? China is not gonna fly or sail with impunity. The United States, Japan, Australia will send their fleets and aircraft. China doesn't have the naval strength to hold off America and her allies combined naval and air strength.
Bullshit! Like Russia on its own doorstep, China would be invincible just off its own coast. Japan, Philippines... would they really go to war with the economic superpower that is China over an island that the whole world already recognises as belonging to them? For Japan that would be like going to war with the USA a second time.
God is not directly intervening in the politics of man. Please read your Bibles KJV! Make chips here in the US. Forget about sending manufacturing abroad. Our men and women need jobs here.
I often wonder why the Chinese would forcibly try to take over Taiwan - it just doesn’t make economic sense ! The Chinese are all about money so why not just keep the pressure on them until Taiwan caves to joining China ? You would think that what has happened in Ukraine would be enough of a reason to forgo using force to get Taiwan.

China didn't invade, occupy, and destroy 8 countries in 20 years. The US did that. And this GeneralFkFace is warning us about a Chinese invasion whilst having participated in many illegal invasions himself.
We need to focus inwards for a while if we want to keep this project running. America will inevitably decay slowly due to corruption, our ethnic and political diversity, internationalist influences, predatory corporations, weak political system, terrible military spending habits, and social rot. In the later years of the empire, the Romans had to spend more and more and more on their military and to do so, they minted increasing coinage each year, completely trashing the value of their currency. Superpowers near the end of their hegemony will spend increasing amounts on their military to try to cling onto their former dominance. The American golden age is over and I believe our global power peaked somewhere in the 2010s. If we cut our losses we could salvage something but we won’t, we’ll watch our civilization decay just like the Romans as millions of barbarians flood through the borders permanently altering our demographics and as our food prices skyrocket and education becomes worthless and our ideologies crumble.
Both Taiwan and China state there is 1 china and both state to be the legal government. They both agree its an internal matter. The issue now is that there are a few generations of people who think of themselves as Taiwanese and not chinese, i bet. It happens over time, and they say 20 uears is a generation, and they have had 4ish since being forced to retreat to the Island.
Taiwanese have democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of The press and many other freedoms that CCP will not allow. For good reason Twain does not want to be ruled by the Chinese communist party
I think you are basing your initial statement on old info. That was (in a way still is) the oppinion of KMT. For a long time, it was the leading party in Taiwan, but hasn't been like that for a while already.
@tyronemaroney335 I said that in my comment. In the political realm, it's still a Chinese civil war. People in Taiwan may want independence from China as their own government still sees them as China. The independence movement grows, but as of now, Taiwan hasn't declared independence or claimed themselves to he a sovereign nation yet. So it's still a Chinese Civil War. I'm guessing when they decide to do that is when things will get bloody between the two sides.

Am I missing something? Wasn't the agreement that Taiwan would be returned to China after 99 years or something like that? I mean yeah it totally sucks if you're Taiwanese and don't wanna be ruled by China, but shouldn't these details have been worked out long ago? It really sucks when politicians make deals for stuff that will have huge impacts long after they die.
This is just about chip making. Once the US starts making our own, our position towards Taiwan is gonna change massively. China wouldn’t expect to recover any of those machines in the chip manufacturing facilities if they did invade. They want that land and they want to finally settle a fight that has been going on since 1948. Once they have Taiwan, they are going to pivot towards Yakutsk and Kamchatka. Just you watch.
Air invasion? How are they going to land on completely destroyed landing strips? Not to mention that they will lose more than half of their planes, and HOW DO THEY RESUPPLY?
It's not about them taking Taiwan. It's about the US response and that's what they are preparing for.

And then today Moscow's S-300 and S-400 system plant also had a fire? Coincidences?
I have no clue what you’re talking about but I’m convinced you’re right 🤣
@@yarchivedhe has no what he talking about 😂
One of our weapons plants caught fire the same day
Are those chip factory's? How many illegals over the mexico boarder chinese. Standing Chinese army on US soil.
They can't even drive! They're going to wage war? With vehicles?!
Sorry, but I wholeheartedly disagree with this guy. China does not have reason to takeover Taiwan by force, but not for the reasons this guy is stating. It's because China is an extremely patient and very well planning country. What they're doing now is working very well for them, and they're not going to abandon what is obviously working for what is unknown that may or would lead to a potential loss of face, influence, and political capital worldwide without a direct threat launched against them from Taiwan, in which case the world will side with them seeing it as a justified response. And they most definitely are not going to be so short sighted enough to operate on the US "experts" timetable.
Even IF China did invade Taiwan by force, they can eat a million casualties like it's nothing, and have all the strategic advantages if such an invasion were to take place. No one else can. So no, I do not think China will forcefully invade Taiwan, but integrate it into their current sphere of control like Hong Kong without a fight, and fulfill once and for all to the world of Sun Tzu's 4000+ year old maxim that "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.".
That’s probably why chip factories are opening up in the U.S. because I believe Taiwan will join china soon.
I totally agree with you. China is not going to invade Taiwan. We’ve been hearing this for years and every year it doesn’t happen. More likely Taiwan will fall under China rule in the future without a shot being fired.
@@rickfastly2671 yall are subhumans wanting to see a first world democratic nation join the an authoritarian CCP. We already betrayed Hong Kong and that going terrible for them. Yall make me more ok with McCarthyism. Yall input should be ignored
You're exactly right!
Your dumb
Keep in mind there’s almost 100 miles of ocean between the two. I just don’t think it will be as easy as everyone is saying.
Nonsense...
China will never invate militarily their own land... Firstly because it's not necessary and secondly because they are smart!
Taiwan will eventually be totally locked-in with China, economically and politically pretty soon.. the Taiwanese big business owners spend more time in mane land China than in Taiwan or US.. the "Japan" party is not as popular as it use to be.. and the war in Ukraine and Palestine has wakened up a lot of citizens to realities of what end-up happening to the usa's friendly countries...
...and I may add.. one needs to take a good look at Taiwan's coastline to realize that an amphibious invasion is close to impossible..
Guess.. Who really want China to invade Taiwan??
Have you ever actually met someone from Taiwan lol? I have and they do not want the CCP. Why you think Palestine is gonna influence them on their relationship with China is absolutely ridiculous. Two very different situations. They just had another election to support another anti CCP candidate.
Thanks comrade. You have received an increase in your social credit score!
Right that's why Chinese college students flock to Taiwan for schooling.
That's why american contractors were there just last year selling fire arms to citizens and giving them propper training.
That's why Taiwan has said multiple times that they are independent, and sovereign from China.
Since WW2.
That's why Japan has been permitted to rebuild back an offensive military force to counter China in the face of an invasion of Taiwan, Australia and the Philippines would step in.
Taiwanese citizen don't vacation to China, they primarily go to Japan, Korea and Australia.
I have family in Taiwan.
You are a commie NPC, you are paid to praise China and discredit the west in comment sections across social media.
You are propagandist spreading misinformation. Taiwan hates China, and so does Hong Kong, Tibet, and India.
China riding an economic bubble
Crazy how none of your shows are working on IHeart or Apple podcast. So glad I can watch it here
You can’t take over a country by air alone, eventually you have to occupy, how did Iraq amd Afghanistan turn out?
Very different situation. CCP can shell Taiwan from inside their borders. Stopping this would be more like Afghanistan. Ports can be shelled into dust, mountains cannot. More infrastructure is required to keep steady supply to Taiwan than it is in Afghanistan. Besides, the Taiwanese are not afghans. They are not a warrior people. They have not been bred for millennia on constant strife with a fierce determination. Taiwanese are decadent consumerist soyboys if we’re being honest
Iraq was just a house cleaning party and an opportunity for some piracy.
People have tried to conquer Afghanistan for thousands of years and they can't do it We can't do it Nobody can It's all about identity and ideology and they've been that way since the Stone Age They don't give a shit about Our Western modern anything And they're spread out throughout the entire country these people The everyday Folks that live in the dirt. It would have been best to leave them to their
time time warp reality all this years ago
heard of paratroopers?
@@markbombini7715have you ever heard of a Manpad?
They were turned inside out
What's interesting is that China regulates the design of all new civilian ferry ships so that they can have a military use as well. That's an easy way to double your military capability without the military paying for it.
Captain obvious here, by sea and air. Well no shit Sherlock
Just a question for thought . Who remembers a balloon that was bigger than a bus that hovered all around our country for days ?

Why?
@@RolandSpecialSaucewhy not? Are you in love with China’s takeover of Asia and parts of Africa? You love communism? Or are you just a stoner troll who hates the world and loves destruction to make yourself feel better?
@@RolandSpecialSaucebecause China are planning to invade Taiwan?
@@RolandSpecialSauce because one way or another, a lot of its population are going to die? How was that not an immediate thought
😂😂😂
Correct me if I'm wrong about this, please.
Two major challenges China faces in a potential invasion of Taiwan, which are often not discussed, are related to Taiwan's geography. The island has only two locations that are suitable for amphibious assaults and landings. This limitation allows the significantly outnumbered Taiwanese forces to concentrate their troops and restrict the number of Chinese personnel and equipment that can land on the beach at any given time.
The second advantage for Taiwan is the weather conditions in the strait between China and Taiwan.
the weather in the strait is so poor that it poses significant risks for any large naval fleet attempting to cross. In fact, there are only two months each year when the weather conditions in the strait are favorable for naval operations.
These two advantages mean that Taiwan can anticipate where any Chinese amphibious landings might occur and can also gauge the timeframe for a potential invasion.
And these are huge advantages
Didn't you hear him say they will do it by air?
@neilbond2483
Yes I did. However, airborne operations have very limited capabilities.
Airborne forces usually do not have enough supplies for extended combat, so they are primarily used to secure an airhead to facilitate the arrival of larger forces before pursuing other combat goals.
Additionally, airborne units are highly susceptible to anti-aircraft weapon systems, and Taiwan possesses a wide range of such weapons and technology, largely due to American support. Furthermore, airborne operations are significantly affected by weather conditions, making them unreliable at times.
As a result, airborne units cannot serve as the leading force in any Chinese attempts to invade Taiwan. And lets not forget about The most significant threat to Chinese airborne operations, and to the Chinese military as a whole, the American military, which has committed to defending Taiwan's sovereignty and has pledged to intervene in any Chinese invasion attempt.
And also has the best airforce and anti-aircraft weapon systems on the planet
@landonlacy1954 yes I'm just saying that's how he said it would likely be done
Wrong again. Americans don't understand the China regional control apparatus. it's not overtly military like the west.
I have no idea why this wasn’t a debate question.
How can they can make chips that we can't or somebody else can't?? Like what the fuc.. everything on this planet worth a damn should say made in the USA on it
Should but doesn't
A Taiwanese guy who worked for Texas Instruments was lured by the Taiwanese govt. with a lot of money to go there and start chip manufacturing. Chip manufacturing involves nasty carcinogenic chemicals, so I think it was easier to do it there and China where EPA isn't. The new hostile relationship growing with China is now bringing chip mfg back, but under Taiwan Semi Conductor in AZ.
Phillips owns the pattens for the machines that make the best chips and licences it to a few Taiwanese companies
The chips are designed in the US
@@rear9259And…? Machines and licenses could be sold here, whether Taiwan stands or not. If the CCP should take Taiwan, how concerned have they shown themselves to be, with patents and licensing?
America can prevent any agression with the correct Leadership. I am less concerned with China than our military readiness.
Some say Philippine situation is more volatile than Taiwan
The Philippinos are playing catch up but aren't backing down for shit
This guy is a mockingbird for someones agenda. Probably been told "secrets" so he can look relevant.
Dude just explained how you have to invade an island.
It's not rocket science..Lols
Read a book man. This is common knowledge and he's probably correct in his analysis of how China would conduct such an operation
What I was getting at it is that is kind of crap answer! I have read a book and served 4 years in the Marines.
We are living in the book of revelations! It’s crazy
Dear Americans . If you try to defend Taiwan . How will you recognise who is Chinese and Taiwanese 😂😂😂
"Oops 😬"
Are they naked or wearing a uniform ? 😂
Praying for my man Ray out there. 🙏🏼
Well I doubt it would be a ground invasion 😅
Only really leaves Air and Sea. What about all the experts that spoke on the quality of the Chinese weapons.
Imagine your family raising you for decades, only for you to die all across the sea in a conflict between Taiwan and China. How many Americans are willing to let their children die like this?
No. They wont. Its so dissapointing how dumb the people are on this show. It scares me really.
They make money doing this.. Can U believe that
Dumb enough to protect your spoiled ass?
Absolutely. So much bullshit and fear mongering without a clue about the state of the Chinese military.
Oh yes they will. I’m guessing you are not living in a western country.
So. War is cheaper than developing chip factories?
And that's our problem how?
Exactly
Because you eat too much, and nothing to do, instead of wasting time on useless matter.
@@Alexander-rg2wb riiiiiiiiiiiiight😂😂😂🤡
Treaty. And how ignoring it will play, with other Asian allies.
North Phoenix has a $60+ billion dollar chip manufacturing plant being built over the last 4+ years. They plan on building 3 mega factories just like the ones in Taiwan. These factories are massive and can be seen from the highway.
This guy is full of it. He’s either ignorant or a liar or a mouth piece for the military industrial complex.
China has to realize that their trade with the USA would come to abrupt halt. And this goes both ways, too. Remember 2008? Well, this would be much worse. Imagine tens of millions Chinese losing their jobs as the demand has shrunk greatly.
Folks would stop shopping at wallymart
They cannot sustain that supply line, the idea is ridiculous
Not that far fetched it's a short distance for them but Taiwan has been preparing for 70 or so years
This is stupid. I feel for the Taiwanese but let them take it. Then stop all trade with them. No more oil, no more Australian coal, no more trade, and their food production is severely hampered.
Oh, and what good are chip factories if they don't get the input resources to produce.
China would set itself back fifty years.
A Chinese professor told us in 2006 China has 3,000 food riots a yr.on the mainland.
USA borders are wide open and they talking about Taiwan 😂😂😂
Crazy how the US govt cares more about another country’s borders than our own 😂
The world is divided into 2. The colonisers and their subjects. The colonisers discovered democracy and their subjects seeing the true intent of what the colonisers are after in their homeland,(that is their resources) discovered communism and socialism as a way to fight back againt their colonisers. Now you know what China and the entire West is about, and how they view the West and its cohorts such as the British, the Aussies, the Canadians, the French and the rest of them. We must never all fail to understand this ..
Move the chip plants to the us.
the U.S. is doing everything it can to import Taiwan’s chip manufacturing tech to Arizona. Taiwan is building a massive factory there.
I’m on Keto, keep your chips
They have keto chips at Costco. It’s not the same but it’s keto friendly. Have a chip.
It has to be by air because their most sophisticated submarine just sank and they were trying to cover it up because of how embarrassing it is 😂😂😂 MADE IN CHINA
Almost like the sexual allegations, covered up by the US media of Okinawa. Hope, you learn a thing or two.
Wake up America
This is why Ukrainian is so important. China is watching what we do very closely. If Putin is defeated by Nato and we continue to build on what Biden started diplomatically in bringing Japan and southeast Asia under the same type of umbrella they going to think twice.
Its not about how many ships or how many aircraft. People are completely missing the most important thing. LOGISTICS. China cannot supply their men continuously enough for a ground invasion and occupation. The Chinese soldiers will definitely make it to Taiwan but how long can they last if they are cut off or getting limited supply? China is not gonna fly or sail with impunity. The United States, Japan, Australia will send their fleets and aircraft. China doesn't have the naval strength to hold off America and her allies combined naval and air strength.
Bullshit! Like Russia on its own doorstep, China would be invincible just off its own coast. Japan, Philippines... would they really go to war with the economic superpower that is China over an island that the whole world already recognises as belonging to them? For Japan that would be like going to war with the USA a second time.
Rubber. Japan owned 90% or better of the world's rubber.
Before synthetic rubber.

The Chinese are all about money so why not just keep the pressure on them until Taiwan caves to joining China ?
You would think that what has happened in Ukraine would be enough of a reason to forgo using force to get Taiwan.
Not our WAR.

We need to focus inwards for a while if we want to keep this project running. America will inevitably decay slowly due to corruption, our ethnic and political diversity, internationalist influences, predatory corporations, weak political system, terrible military spending habits, and social rot. In the later years of the empire, the Romans had to spend more and more and more on their military and to do so, they minted increasing coinage each year, completely trashing the value of their currency. Superpowers near the end of their hegemony will spend increasing amounts on their military to try to cling onto their former dominance. The American golden age is over and I believe our global power peaked somewhere in the 2010s. If we cut our losses we could salvage something but we won’t, we’ll watch our civilization decay just like the Romans as millions of barbarians flood through the borders permanently altering our demographics and as our food prices skyrocket and education becomes worthless and our ideologies crumble.
What an idiot. Can you imagine if Another country would go and encourage Hawaii to separate from the USA let alone Texas.
Both Taiwan and China state there is 1 china and both state to be the legal government. They both agree its an internal matter. The issue now is that there are a few generations of people who think of themselves as Taiwanese and not chinese, i bet. It happens over time, and they say 20 uears is a generation, and they have had 4ish since being forced to retreat to the Island.
Taiwanese have democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of The press and many other freedoms that CCP will not allow.
For good reason Twain does not want to be ruled by the Chinese communist party
I think you are basing your initial statement on old info. That was (in a way still is) the oppinion of KMT. For a long time, it was the leading party in Taiwan, but hasn't been like that for a while already.
Taiwanese see themselves as Taiwanese not Chinese anymore
@tyronemaroney335 I said that in my comment. In the political realm, it's still a Chinese civil war. People in Taiwan may want independence from China as their own government still sees them as China. The independence movement grows, but as of now, Taiwan hasn't declared independence or claimed themselves to he a sovereign nation yet. So it's still a Chinese Civil War. I'm guessing when they decide to do that is when things will get bloody between the two sides.
@@BeregondFirstCaptain and it was already explained to you, that their government doesn't see them as China. For the past 10 years (approximately), Taiwan has been governed by the DPP, which doesn't see Taiwan as China.
China wanted Taiwan way before chips mattered. Once other countries make chips then what will be the reason? Once they have Taiwan then where does China go from there? China wants their people to make money but not to decide their destiny....makes no sense.

How many times does the USA have to be defeated and humiliated before they learn ?
Am I missing something? Wasn't the agreement that Taiwan would be returned to China after 99 years or something like that? I mean yeah it totally sucks if you're Taiwanese and don't wanna be ruled by China, but shouldn't these details have been worked out long ago? It really sucks when politicians make deals for stuff that will have huge impacts long after they die.
That’s I would never buy an expensive item like an MG car. Don’t fund the China war machine.
he's busy in america. everywhere he is.. europe, middle east, asia. he's busy with other countries
This is just about chip making. Once the US starts making our own, our position towards Taiwan is gonna change massively. China wouldn’t expect to recover any of those machines in the chip manufacturing facilities if they did invade. They want that land and they want to finally settle a fight that has been going on since 1948. Once they have Taiwan, they are going to pivot towards Yakutsk and Kamchatka. Just you watch.
Where can I find this full episode?
Why is such a vital thing as chip manufacturing concentrated in such a vulnerable, perilous spot? Why is it not in Kansas?
Why don't the U.S offer to relocate the chip manufacturing in the U.S?
