We need backups/disaster recovery plans for anything we depend on Taiwan for.
And we also want to keep technology out of Taiwan’s hands that China doesn’t have.

Total B.S. We should defend Taiwan like it is Washington freaking D.C. The U.S. doesn’t have a better ally in the world than Taiwan. Taiwanese love the U.S. more than Americans do.
Do you really want to go without a plan B to keep technology out of China? You're even betting that the US will defend Taiwan so incredibly well that none of the manufacturing in Taiwan that we depend on gets destroyed.
Plan B is to be able to quickly fire up manufacturing done in China and Taiwan here in the US. And lets hope we never have to resort to it.
Why?
"Washington freaking D.C." is owned by Communist China already, and it is run by Corrupt Unaccountable Deep Swamp Public Masters.
They even have their own Border Fence.
We could make stuff here again. Sounds like a plan to me.
