well that’s good. but the microchip industry is why we’re protecting Taiwan for the most part, right? besides the whole having a foothold in the sea near China just to annoy them
I imagine geopolitical concerns are the primary reason for US interest in controlling Taiwan. I’m not even sure what US is protecting the chip industry from exactly. It’s not like US isn’t utterly dependent on China for manufacturing already, and China is clearly perfectly happy to export chips to US. The whole problem ultimately stems from the irrational US policy towards China.
It’s literally the burger empire coming half way across the world to fuck around in China’s internal affairs. I sincerely hope Russia starts funding and supporting a separatist movement in Texas, so that burgerlanders can experience what that feels like first hand.
I work closely with people in Taiwan and China is DEFINITELY the asshole in the situation. Like a big bad “You need to get punched in the face until you stop assholing” asshole. The nuance is almost all manufactured, like Twinkies and Fox News outrage. Like for real, super seriously. Like how Russia is the asshole in the Ukraine and how Israel is the asshole in well… Israel.
While the US govt. has selfish economic and ideological reasons for supporting Taiwan, it is ONE thing I’m in favor of it doing. I don’t like bullies. No one should like bullies.
US is literally the global bully that’s fucking around in China’s internal affairs here. Not only that, but US is a deplorable kind of bully that speaks with a forked tongue:
The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means. We continue to have an abiding interest in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
Yet, US is the asshole that’s coming half way across the world to meddle in another country’s internal affairs. It’d be akin to China funding and arming an independence movement in Texas.

No, it would be akin to China funding and arming the US if England decided to say “Hey, you used to be English! We think you still are. We plan to come over there and replace your government. Also, we’re murdering our own citizens if they strongly disagree with this policy.”
Taiwan is literally a province of China as even US acknowledges. The SUPER bad look is to try and justify the interference by burger empire in other countries.
I talk to people there everyday. Taiwan doesn’t WANT to be a province of China and anyone who thinks it should be is a dick (and probably a sock puppet for the Chinese Communist Party - it’s gonna be pretty hard to keep doing your job here without looking just like one of those). End of discussion.

Yes, it’s all the US doing this to poor China… Sure. Okay.

I don’t disagree.
But that doesn’t change anything I said. The US does not have a monopoly on assholery.
EDIT: Who would downvote this other than sockpuppet accounts controlled by OP? Maybe some idiot tankies, I guess. lol.

Are you gonna deny that? It’s a SUPER bad look.
