And why do you care about the US not depending on CHYNA

Cause I don't want anyone to depend on China so I like what they're doing

All the bill will do is save IBM money since the subsidies aren't that conditional. IBM already announced they want to cut back on semiconductor investments because they are getting more subsidies. Ultimately all this is gonna do is pay dividends for shareholders using tax money

Let us wait and see

And why are you not advocating for not depending on the US, which the EU depends on much more

1. Niggas talked for 2 hours with warnings not to go to Taiwan

2. China sent multiple warnings after the meeting

3. PLA celebrating their 95th anniversary

The US just wants war simple as that. Global Economy is finished.

I didn't even get a chance to move to Guinea like i wanted

China used military force and strikes at Taiwan in all 3 prior crisis

Anything can happen really

Because they speak English so they’re good

One thing that fell under the rug this year also was that in the first ever meeting between the Chinese defense minister and Defense Sec Austin, Wei Fenghe said:

If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, the Chinese army will definitely not hesitate to start a war no matter the cost,”

They view this move as breaking policy but doubt they’re here yet ^ s*** is serious tho

Made the right move flying out the country the same day I made this thread

Do nothing piece of s*** unless it comes to this one particular opportunity to raise the temperature on potential conflict

MANNNNN

I think the focus on CHIPS extremely narrows the scope of this and how bad tensions have gotten

Pelosi's Asia trip was intended for April before Nancy got COVID. There’s also been increased US efforts at gaining influence in East Asia and ASEAN nations since the spring. There's a whole chronology of tensions just in the last 2-4 months:

• China first complaining about the trip in early April: bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-08/china-rips-pelosi-over-reported-taiwan-trip-setting-up-showdown
• Biden saying in Japan the US will use military force if China acts on Taiwan (WH later walked this back)
• Meeting between both PLA defense minister and Lloyd Austin in June where the PLA flat out said they'd go to war
• G7 introducing "Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment," a $600B plan to compete with the multi-trillion dollar Belt and Road (this is their 2nd attempt at this)
• NATO shifting policy after 12 years, declaring China as a security threat for the first time

That's not even everything. At the center tho has and will always be One China, which Beijing views as the basis for peaceful US-China relations. Neither recognized each other before this policy

China:

USA:

Also CHIPS isn’t an initiative it’s 100% necessary for US to even compete with Chinas quickly growing semiconductor industry. They’ve made scary gains recently and advanced 2 generations Im chips: bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-21/china-s-top-chipmaker-makes-big-tech-advances-despite-us-curbs

If they didn’t do this, you’d have realistic chances of both China outpacing Taiwan after a few years and China becoming a potential alternative worldwide. At least now the US is trying to pump themselves up for not only be an alternative if Taiwan is compromised, but they also can have a great industry domestically (assuming they follow through)

And why does China even have this quickly developing sector….US sanctions: time.com/6189341/us-sanctions-china-chips-semiconductors

So how many hours do we have left till she gets there? (please tell me it's 7 so we can get the new BCS episode first )

this is genuinely the wokest take of all time

t. linguistics bach

Xi bout to be like

This trip is a pure bad idea I can't lie

So the USA does something China doesn’t like and they go and bully the handicap kid in response lol

P**** ass country. Their citizens will rejoice too. Step up to the big dogs if you got a problem with something we do

I don't think China will really fully attack Taiwan at all, it will be bit by bit until they fully take it over one day. I dont think the US can do something here long term and they will have to give up Taiwan at some point. Also if the chip manufacturing goes from Taiwan to USA, say goodbye to Taiwan being independent already ....

In about 12-16 hours

Yall acting like we can just move the island next to us like a mobile home or sum s***

Russia+North Korea+China vs USA

North Korea being on this like they the tipping point
