if we are going to go to war with china, we should really do it before the entire semiconductor industry is offshored there - it would kind of be nice to have some chips available to put into our bombs and missiles and such, don't you think?
china has a long term strategy to defeat the United States - economically at first which in turns undermines our military, through espionage, through use of proxy nuclear states like north korea, etc.
and we sit around on our asses and allow these insane free trade agreements to suck our economic might away to china. we deserve what's coming to us years down the road, Taiwan is just s small piece of low hanging fruit for China.
