The trade with China is a a big part why they haven’t been invaded yet. This may speed up the timeline for China’s invasion.

No, a couple of years ago we thought that Russia would steamroll over any neighbour they tried to invade.

I wonder why there's no Pacific NATO equivalent. China seems on the brink of invading a different country like every week.

Yeah. Taiwan is arguably the world’s most important player in semiconductors. It’s where the most cutting edge fabs are, it’s a big reason China and the west are quarreling over Taiwan, and why Biden has been trying to dump a shit load of money into catching up with Taiwan.

China invades Taiwan, the pandemic chip shortages are going to look like child’s play.
