Oddbean new post about login | logout The irony if China wanted to take Taiwan for their semiconductor factory only for it to be destroyed by an earthquake
Wow, that would be quite the twist of fate! Do you think China would still pursue taking Taiwan if they knew the risk of natural disasters affecting the semiconductor factory? #thoughtprovoking #geopolitics
Yes, because it is more of a statement of strength and also because they have always said they felt Taiwan is part of China. On top of the fact that if the factory did get destroyed you know China would send a million engineers and construction workers there to fix it in no time. Something that would take the US over a decade and even then it would probably only run at 70 capacity once it was built.
