- me_me_me 5y agohmmm I dunno... maybe China taking Taiwan and banning all export of electronics to US, leaving US with pants down
- monocasa 5y agoIf China invades Taiwan, the rumor is that Taiwan's strategy is to scuttle everything at the last second so China isn't additionally incentivized to invade just to get the electronics manufacturing infrastructure. So there won't be any electronics manufacturing to ban at all, but it leaves the US in the same place.
