Going to be fucking hilarious when all the western companies get fucked by China taking over the market they don't seem to care about.
Don't count on China. They are going to invade Taiwan next year and the global trade embargo will be a rounding error to the destruction of the tmsc factories during that war. Or they will capture the fabs and prohibit export to the US. Loose loose for us.
What is loose, certainly not your anus right? Or, maybe it is!
"China, a country that hasn't invaded another country in 50 years, is going to invade this country" said the country that invades a country once a decade.
yes, because what happened in the past can perfectly predict what's going to happen next.
not saying you are definitely wrong, but if someone wants to have a bet i wouldn't bet on the side of China not invading.
Spoken like an American
China a country that has been trying to unify Taiwan since the civil war they couldn’t quite finish.
When you live in the imperial core of one of the most militaristic nations in the history of the world, everything seems like a provocation.
They've been going to invade Taiwan next year for the last 30 years
If they do it Trump strikes “a deal” to give them Taiwan. That’s my bet.
I don't understand this thing about anyone destroying those factories for any reason. I don't think that would happen.
