You are making things up and it's not really an argument. You show a lack of understanding of game theory. War is a game of incentives, and if you can control them, you can avoid war as a whole. Taiwan likely won't commit scorched earth policies. Why? Because they likely won't get invaded. Why? Because the invaders would have no incentive if everything is burnt down. Just like Russia has no incentive to drop atom bombs and destroy the wheat fields. You may not like it, you may be infantile and effeminately emotional about it, but leaving landmines is a good tactic - yes. It's war. Calling this childish shows your lack of comprehension and insight. Taiwan has little to lose and little to gain. China has a lot to lose and a lot to gain. From Taiwan's perspective, they can sacrifice a little to cause a lot of damage. What future generations think is irrelevant - they are not entitled to TSMC. And what's more, China is not entitled to Taiwan. It's not that if I can't have it, noone can. It's that I made this, I own this, I am entitled to this, including but not limited to destroy it as well. You can't have it because it's not yours. You having it is a fallacy which should not happen.
