"Taiwan produces approximately 60% of global semiconductor output and an even more dominant 90% of the world's most advanced chips."
Our stupidity is not China's problem. All that stuff should be made in the US because we need it for our MICC and warmongers.
Taiwan belongs to China just as Puerto Rico belongs to the US.
The US led destruction of a rules based order has been policy for a very long time.
Rules apply to lesser people and countries with smaller fists.
So the US exempted itself from the rules in Iraq. Russia, to its credit, played by the rules, voted to accept Crimea AFTER Crimea, by the rules, separated from Ukraine.
And what happened? The US skated so nicely that even Poland joined it in invading Iraq.
Russia, on the other hand, has been getting sanctions, condemnation, holy indignation, and other shlt...
Memo to Euros: Never talk shlt about rules as long as you are in NATO. It annoys me.
