I suspect we will see China attempt to invade Taiwan sooner rather than later now.
In particular I’ve suspected for awhile that China desperately wants to “own” Taiwan Semiconductor ($TSM) since they’ve been trying to build up their own domestic chip business for awhile and $TSM is the gold standard in chip manufacturing.
- magicsmoke 6y agoAny invasion of Taiwan will just leave TSMC a smoking husk, either from PLA jets or from self-destruct switches. Invading won't help in terms of owning TSMC's facilities and technology.
- xoxoy 6y agohuh? by invade i mean they want to own Taiwan, not destroy it.
- yorwba 6y agoHow do you expect an invasion to happen without a lot of destruction? Maybe you should read this: https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/25/taiwan-can-win-a-war-with-china/ https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/25/taiwan-can-win-a-war-wi...

- srtjstjsj 6y agoChina is already paying most TSMC employees to move to China already. TSMC won't last 10years at its current strength.
- seanmcdirmid 6y agoIt would be very difficult for China with its current resources to take Taiwan and keep its infrastructure and talent intact. If your main battle strategy is to rely on cruise missiles, expect a crater.
