If Tawain is taken by China, you can say goodbye to the technologies of computer chips being allowed to leave that area. You will be stuck with old computer technologies, up and until the Progressives in America are shot and killed, then computer chips can be allowed to be made in America once again..
Or the rich guys who own those factories will sit down with their new Communist Governor, and open for business the next day.
Here's the overall problem that we Americans refuse to see about China.
China is VERY touchy about issues of national sovereignty, after centuries of foreign incursions and internal factionalism.
To Americans, we look at Taiwan, Tibet, Hong Kong or the Uyghurs and see issues of "Freedom", even though none of these people are really very good examples of western style democracy. Taiwan didn't allow free elections until 1996. Hong Kong was a colonial possession until it was turned back over to China in 1997. The Uyghurs are Islamic fundamentalists who have more in common with Al Qaeda than America, and Tibet under the Dalai Lama was a Theocracy that most of the peasants were oppressed.
To the Chinese, they look at these disputes as the west encouraging factionalism in their lands.
