Banning the export of sensitive technology is not exactly the equivalent to a MacArthurian full throated embrace of the nuclear arts to defend an ally.
China's repeat statements about how it vows to bring Taiwan into the fold are like the gif of a truck about to crash from multiple angles that never actually crashes: https://c.tenor.com/cD8WqQ-ZGXcAAAAC/truck-crash.gif https://c.tenor.com/cD8WqQ-ZGXcAAAAC/truck-crash.gif
- alphabetting 4y agoAt least to me this order shows the US govt is finally taking AI global implications seriously. And if they're taking those implications seriously, they will never let China have Taiwan.
- jeffparsons 4y ago> defend an ally The USA would not merely be defending an ally; it would be defending a part of its supply chain that somehow, somewhere along the line, became essential to pretty much every moving part of the country. Moving enough fab to the continental United States to make a meaningful difference could be done long-term as a matter of strategic policy, but you can't make a change like that fast enough to address the USA's _present day_ geopolitical concerns. For now, Taiwan is kinda important.
