I just think that when time’s up for the Republic of China (aka Taiwan), their military and elite will fold faster than the Afghans. Being an elite under the CCP is quite different than being the Taliban’s b!tch. For one thing you have full access to the world’s biggest trade routes. For another thing, they’ve gotta be getting wary of US incompetence and corruption.
If china takes Taiwan they take the world. Remember that 90% of the worlds computer chips are made in Taiwan. Some naive people think we could easily start producing chips here.
