        withdrawing support for Taiwan in the still-distant future.

        They’re going to tip the Republic of China in to the ocean as soon as they’ve stolen all of TSCM’s productive capacity. That’s all this was ever about. They’re building chip fabs in Arizona right now. As soon as the US can produce it’s own Chips the RoC is… going to go right back to tense but peaceful relations with the mainland like they had before DC started waving it’s grand imperial [redacted] around.

          Could be. I was under the impression DC was involved from the very start (didn’t the US airlift the KMT into Taiwan?), but crazier things have happened.

            Yeah, you can say in a meaningful sense that the US co-founded Taiwan. I personally think that part of the reason the US wants to recreate Taiwan’s manufacturing capacity is that it makes Taiwan much more expendable, meaning it can be used for military provocations and even war (as some US generals are openly calling for or predicting) without risking the loss of an irreplaceable economic asset to the US.

              That could be, too. If that’s the case and Taiwan is wise, though, I think they would probably want to negotiate a surrender well before becoming America’s cannon fodder - which would deny it as a forward base for provocations. I also think military leaders are some of America’s best actors; they bluff much better than anyone in Hollywood, at least.

              I thought the US Taiwanese support had more to do with keeping an open lane in East China Sea? If they can win over Taiwan somehow then that would be completely closed off in a potential future conflict.
