Some island, $3.4 trillion in shipping goods, 60% of the world’s shipping, Okinawa, Japan, New Zealand, Hawaii.
Let Taiwan go and you can expect most store shelves to be empty ; gas be rationed, costing some number above $20 a gallon ; food rationing ; pretty much all the big box stores to be barren of products. Or in other words, instant dollar crash, and the accompanying 3rd world status. Enjoy!
The enemies are already inside the gates.
