Don’t forget about the global chip foundries and economic gains they can’t control because it isn’t theirs. I fully understand the argument you presented, but because I’m an American asshole I think Taiwan is a hilarious highlight to the PRC’s second tier global status. They are trying the Japan 1940 playbook to expand their exclusive economic clout…but don’t even have a handle 100 miles off their own coast. Makes me happy. I’m sure it will come back at us at some point unless we significantly change course to maintain our global status, but at least I am amused for now.
