we (USA) make all out microchips in taiwain ... so USA wont let china take over Taiwain until we get the microchips made somewhere else.
We can bring this one in easy...
Ive banged more than a few Taiwanese providers, and... as Ive seen the quality of HK providers sharply drop after the reunification, Im worried the same will happen with these tainwanese providers, or even worse... so basically Im wondering if its a good idea to go full on Taiwanese providers, well they are still avaliable... or maybe taiwain will be around for long enough that I dont need to worry about it... any thoughts?
btw, what is up with some of this chinese ladies loosing their hair so quickly? I feel like taiwain older women its pretty bad also... one of my main focus with women is there hair... so, weak hair, or hair loss, freaks me out... I cant handle it.

Taiwan is a fusion of Polyasian, Japanese and Chinese cultures.
They native Taiwanese Do Not consider themselves to be Chinese. In comparison to the mainland Chinese, the Taiwanese are a higher class society.
It would be a shame for them to fall under CCP rule.
Most Taiwanese feel insulted if you call them Chinese.

There is a lot to be said about this.... I agree with most of what you said... but wanted to add, its a higher class society; thats true, but also, its in direct opposition to communist china mentality etc... they fled the revolution and similar to HK (prior to the reunification) never have known state control, the intense pressures of conformity etc that is normalized on mainland china... I do consider Taiwainese to be chinese (but not CCP CHINESE), but they are a very different culture than mainland. Its pretty obvious to me... and its sad to see the pressure mainland puts on them, because similar to what happened to HK, if they are taken over by CCP, it will just be one more ruined culture and a needless increased homogenization of the already fairly beat down culture which CCP demands. (rant over)
So much for not going off topic.
Yes. On a purely defensive capacity. The US 7th Fleet has been patrolling the Formosa Strait for the past 7 decades. This includes a couple of nuclear vessels, including submarines.
Taiwan will put up a hell of a fight on its own, even without US intervention. They won't win, but they will inflict significant damage. But that's not the main reason China won't invade/ Everything China wants in Taiwan are scheduled for self destruction in the event of a successful invasion. This includes all semi-conductor plants, as well as any useful military installations. All usable assets, especially cash, would be transferred out. This is public information. Meaning the only thing China gains after a costly invasion is an island of resentful people, as well as years of financial and economic sanctions, ala Russia. Their economy is already weak, and any invasion will be enough to collapse it.

China’s economy is the strongest in the world. There’s a minor bump now, but those always happen.
Semiconductor plants are way down the list of reasons China wants to get Taiwan back. The main reasons are 1) Most of Taiwan’s population are ethnic Chinese. China wants to unite more of its people under one roof. 2) The Taiwanese government claims to be the government of all of China. It’s an open challenge. 3) It’s a proxy conflict with the US. China is interested in eventually winning the overall US-China conflict.
I don’t know if there will be a war over Taiwan in the next few decades. It may be smarter for China to keep developing peacefully for quite a while. And it’s hard for me to predict what form the war will take if it does happen.

OK. If you say so. China is facing multi-$Trillion dollar Real Estate bubble, which will take with it almost half of the savings of the common people who invested in it. They manufacturing sector has declined by over 25% for end of 2023. First Quarter 2024 does not look promising.
1) No. The main reason they want Taiwan back is because it belongs to them. It's been the CCP Party line since 1949. 2) Which is also when the Gov't of Taiwan was recognized by the UN and the World as the Govt of China, until 1971, when the CCP was recognized. Taiwan's Govt has changed from the KMT to multiple parties. It's the sovergn self government that is annoying China. They spent most of the 1990 to try and defeat the KMT, and was successful. But it did not result in peaceful reunification talks. 3) It's not a proxy fight. US and Taiwan signed a Defense Treaty. While that treaty has expired, the US has not renounced their defense of Taiwan.
The waiting game I mentioned earlier has been the status quo, and unless one side changes position, there will be no invasion.
