yes, because united state would be stupid enough to get involved and with 90% of goods mfg in china, that would be a quick cut off, we be hungry in two weeks.
Got to pay the piper at some point. Besides, if China cuts us off, they would go broke in no time. They are reliant on us for money as we are reliant on them for goods. Thing is, if we act soon and swiftly, we can tilt the scale in our favor by finding other manufacturing sites.

Other manufacturing sites? hmm, I wonder where that could be
Lol delusional post. Are you a Chinese supporter? If not, where do you get your assertions? Chinese absolutely want to and will try to take Tawain at some point in the not too distant future. Their president SAID AS MUCH.
Same reason the US does not make Puerto Rico a state. China wants to control Taiwan, not take it. This control without representation is worse than annexation. If I was a Chinese supporter I'd be saying China wants unification.
We have chip fab facilities onshore. Global foundries had a huge footprint in upstate NY.
Many of the chip patents are held by the individual companies so TCMC is just the end fab. Yes there will be a temporary shock to the markets but in a year of two the capacity will be moved elsewhere. Keep in mind if that Taiwan pays their chip employees food wages and the fab process is highly automated. Just to assume that “china” aka Taiwan makes it for 25% of American cost is highly naive.
When I buy chips from Mouser, it adds the Trump tax to every chip, resistor, component made in China.
I guess Mouser.com won't sell any chips from CN and TW, but I'll still be able to buy them from Mouser.mx and ship to an address in Tijuana.
The Mexican cartel will make sure they have control of Tijuana if they didn't have already knowing what happened to Taiwan from the Chinese invasion. They will add the Cartel tax to it too.
So naive. It takes YEARS to bring a chip plant online. We need to be VERY concerned about China’s intentions with Taiwan and be prepared to do whatever it takes even all out war to stop them. In the meantime, we need to be working on building chips and other things elsewhere.
Eh,...what I am not naive about is recognizing all the doomsayers and world ending topics that pop up here like weeds and yet somehow they still manage to pump out Marvel movies.
This should be a kick in the butt for us anyway. Putting all our 'chips' in one overseas basket. What could go wrong?
That we probably agree on.

Geography make control difficult, just for starter. But now you must add in cultural issues. I work with Taiwanese engineers. None of them consider themselves Chinese. They acknowledge their Chinese ancestry but culturally and psychologically, they consider themselves Taiwanese. So when you take the two together, direct control is the best option for China, and that mean an invasion and the ouster of the entire Taiwanese political leadership. The State of Hawaii or even Puerto Rico is more aligned with the US than Taiwan is with China. That does not mean there are no China sympathizers in Taiwan. But at this time, China seems to be impatient with their progress to change Taiwanese minds.
Book of Revelations.. China and Russia invade the west. Time is coming fast.
Yup, we're about to see WW3 under Biden
