What do you think would happen to the world economy when a chipmaker like Taiwan's TSMC just goes offline because their workers are busy dealing with a full scale war? No more (reliable) chips for western cars, computers, laptops, phones, *refrigerators* and many other household appliances. Our populations would be forced to support Taiwanese freedom from "governance" by Beijing. We've seen how the Chinese do that with Tibet, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang.
SO JUST LOSING TAIWANESE INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT ALONE, WOULD CALL IN FORCES THAT THANKFULLY CURRENTLY STILL REMAIN HIDDEN. UNLIKE YOU, WE DON'T BOAST ABOUT OUR MILITARY'S PROWESS. WE PRAY WE DON'T HAVE TO FACE THE DAY WHERE WE PROVE OUR SUPERIORITY IN TERMS OF STRENGTH AND STAMINA, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS MAKING SURE WE'RE READY FOR THAT DAY.
(in all caps because i want this to stand out in this otherwise somewhat clumsy thread - clumsy from the side of Beijing supporters like yourself)
However, and i'm very grateful for this, these hidden forces *are* conveyed to each other during diplomatic confrontations.
Whatever Taiwan can make so can China. Actually, China has more powerful industrial base than Taiwan by a far stretch.
