    Who wants to fight China?

    We just want to make money, it’s the most core American value.

    It’s the tankies on ML who wish China would export communism instead of practicing “capitalism with Chinese characteristics”

    China simps want China to fight the US so badly to make them feel like big boys who took the big boy side.

    Despite the fact that neither China nor the US want to fight.

    It’s funny, in a sad kind of way.

      Invading the Falklands absolutely trashed Argentina’s economy, and being offside with the UK continues to hurt them.

      Attempting to invade Taiwan would utterly destroy the Chinese economy, and I think they’re smart enough to know it.

        And don’t give them any benefits, TSMC most valuable asset is their employees not the machines, anyone can buy ASML machines, only TSMC employees can do it as good as they do

          AFAIK China isn’t allowed to buy loads of fancy ASML machines, however TSMC has said they have procedures to destroy those machines if there’s ever an invasion

          anyone can buy ASML machines

          I’d be very surprised if China was allowed to do this after invading Taiwan.

            A yes of course, but I was talking more about how AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, Samsung all have the best in the industry, but still no one can just buy ASML and make chips as good as TSMC

    While I agree that China is our biggest actual threat in the world outside of a smaller rogue nation starting to lob nukes everywhere, China doesn’t have a great track record with trying to take on any Western powers for centuries now. Even when they tried to take on the west allied Japan it didn’t go so hot for them.

      China’s made the mistake of their massive population. They can’t handle an all-out war without many dying

    America could wipe the floor with China and still have the capacity to fight Russia at the same time.

    It’s what our defense budget is for.
