    Gotta start somewhere.

      You do. But the point is that the investment isn’t a reason why we don’t need to care about Taiwans fate. Maybe it’s a reason we won’t need to in 10 years.

      But today, Operation Hellscape is our friend.

        Taiwan is definitely happening on Trump's watch. Of course he will stand by. Russia and China both have that red button to flaunt and are more willing to use it when it's one guy's choice. What are the guardrails preventing our new autocrat from doing the same? But it goes against what they live for, power. Once the missiles start flying, the only power they will have if they survive is over the cockroaches. Do you think of the thousands of missiles both China and Russia possess, that one or two are aimed at Sardinia? If not, we can survive on seafood and 4 million sheep for a long long time.

          Especially when we’re still utterly dependent on it for microchips.

          $100B investment. Yesterday.

          The government would ensure that the most advanced chipmaking technology stays in Taiwan while assisting Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) in investing overseas, the Presidential Office said yesterday.

          The statement follows a joint announcement by the world’s largest contract chipmaker and US President Donald Trump on Monday that TSMC would invest an additional US$100 billion over the next four years to expand its semiconductor manufacturing operations in the US, which would include construction of three new chip fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a research and development center.

          The government knew about the deal in advance and would assist, Presidential Office spokesperson Karen Kuo (郭雅慧) said yesterday.

            That is a complication. We want to liberate ourselves from dependence on Taiwan and they very much want us not to do so, in order that we have more skin in the Taiwan straight game.

                    and before that

                    Taiwan detected 27 sorties of Chinese aircraft, six Chinese vessels and one Chinese balloon until 6 am (local time) on Thursday, a statement by Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence said.

                    out of 27 sorties, 20 crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s southwestern ADIZ.
