After Russia eating up Ukraine, many commentators are saying it will be China eating Taiwan next.
I know hardly anyone from Ukraine, but I have many Taiwanese friends, have visited the country, and do business with them. I would hate to see Taiwan subjugated to China. And it won't even have titular democracy like HK has. It will probably end up as a colony of China. Terrible news.
If you thought the semiconductor shortage and the disruption it caused to global production was bad, see what happens when China starts exerting control over TSMC and Foxconn. There is no free enterprise in China - anything that grows too big, powerful or successful falls under the government's authoritarian control.
So yeah, all those large American factories (Apple, HP, Dell) run in China by Taiwanese companies will suddenly fall under Chinese control.
The world will just stand and watch like they are doing in Ukraine. Biden's sanctions don't bother the oligarchy. And Trump is actually celebrating what Putin has done.
[Covid hasn't even ended and now this. Evil got no chill.]
