Some useful facts. Taiwan is a supplier of superior computer chips. Russia has apparently had to stop tank production, and has problems with drones because of lack of the right chips. I see Pelosi’s visit having several useful results. She has reassured Taiwan that we will oppose a China assault, thus continuing our supply of computer chips until we can ramp up our own production (recent money approved by Congress). Russia will probably not get Taiwan chips.
China’s military display gives us a chance to see what they’ve got and plan military strategies. For Xi this gives him a chance to look macho before he faces political enemies at an upcoming major meeting to choose the next leader of China, which post he hopes to keep. I see a whole lot of covert winning in all of this. Everybody gets to look tough, but Russia will probably continue to lack chips and ball bearings for key military goods.
My take is the main senerios for why she was there are...
It was “brave and historic” that she went. The prog will consider that an “answer.” (Still no answer)
Some super secret message about supporting (or not supporting) Taiwan from China. (Still no answer)
A shakedown involving assistance in TSMC getting a facility open in the US or perhaps Mexico. (Still no answer)
.
Does “still no answer” mean you haven’t seen any new confirming information, or does it mean something else. Lso what does TSMC stand for. Does this mean Taiwan may bring some of its computer chip expertise over to North America?
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
“still no answer” is the prog blabbing some nonsense and when they are told that doesn’t answer the question they give you a blank stare as they can not comprehend someone does not blindly accept their BS is a factual answer to the question.
See Karine Jean-Pierre

No, all she did was stir up trouble, cost taxpayers a bundle of money, expose our military people to increasing risk, and most important to her, took her crooked son with her to make more crooked deals. It’s a racket.
