This is exactly why they want Taiwan. They can make chips, just not the greatest ones. Taiwan literally helped invent the most advanced way of growing platters around.
The US wants to destabilize every country as long as destabilization means hatred of non US dominance institutions. It is not critical to China to take Taiwan by force, Taiwanese polling supports status quo at 80%, and so they don’t want to be come Ukraine puppet. Taiwan’s current parliament will not support stupid for next 4 years. Still, the danger of breaking US-China trade, or failing in extreme ultimatums against Europe, is ignoring of US export controls to the avantage of EU and Taiwan tech.
China does have a delete America program but it could license CUDA, and Nvidia driver compatibility for purposes of giving it away to its GPU industry. Main problems listed in OP is Nvidia’s mature ecosystem that affects AMD as well. There is a “delete America” program in China that is forced by US short sightedness. It is catching up. Drivers will get stable, and yields improve. But by tariffing energy, the US becomes a terrible place to build datacenters. Solar is perfectly fine for 24/7 datacenters in any country with decent grid because the bottleneck is daytime/peak transmission, and a small battery is enough to get to low night demand that can use grid peaker resources and spare transmission capacity. Placing datacenters in non US colony countries is path to utilizing them for entire world’s AI/computing needs, as alluded to in OP.
The shortsighted US “national security” measures look stupider the more time passes without war on China, and “delete America” progresses. US hasn’t been serious about national security in last 40 years. Just in funneling the most money possible to oligarchy with little military value returned. Naval warfare/force projection is dead strategy. China’s wealth (PPP) advantage and military production rate/value is well ahead of US, and as a manufacturing power, can be increased as well. Its aims of economic abundance are clearly more humanist than US approach, and clearly more welcome to anyone/nation not corrupt and evil.
OP issues may be real, but if China were forced to improve the stability/ecosystem of domestic options, they can right now. China has banned Nvidia (and intel/amd) in certain sectors this week. Bosch and other German Auto sectors are investing huge in China manufacturing, and to compete in Chinese supply chain. Chinese EV, self driving, and robotics are well ahead of west even with sanctions, so that sector seems safe. Betting on China dominance 5-10 years from now is a bet you can give 10:1 odds on. Nuclear annihilation means you won’t have to pay. Time is on China’s side.
The example of Ukraine is discouraging to any “Taiwan militarist extremism”. What instigates an invasion or blockade of Taiwan by China is Taiwan declaring its acceptance of NATO membership, and US missile bases, or 51st state./US territory.
Both the Taiwanese population and current parliamentary majority are against the path of national suicide that Ukraine has taken. US promise to bomb TSMC themselves, and the failure to defeat Russia, in order to focus on creating war in Taiwan is not going to have short term success in convincing Taiwanese to follow Ukraine’s stupidity. Ukraine was “blessed” with extremely hateful nationalists with ww2 and prior grudges against Russia, and an opponent that seemed to be weakening. Fortunately, Trump threatening to force Taiwan to pay for US protection instead of fomenting nazi-like extremism, with cash/weapons support of such groups, cannot possibly be successful in instigating war.
Seems hateful and biggoted to suggest Ukraine provides a great role model to change their minds. The empire subjugation level is so intense on Lemmy, it’s hard to comprehend. My post had plenty of content other than the obviousness that war is bad and not favoured in Taiwan, but mention that Ukraine is neither angelic, nor successfully supported by west, and all marbles are lost in apoplectic heresy, because your identity is wrapped into “prosperity depends on war on Russia and China”, as if you shouldn’t be prevented from voting.

Current Parliamentary majority is more anti-war than President. President is in favour of free US stuff, but is not escalatory or hateful. The tolerance for colonial oversight over TSMC/Taiwan economy. That lasts until the US doesn’t buy as much stuff. The more recent US BS has moved polling to 71% favoring indifinitish status quo. 3.8% favoring independence is at historic low. ROC is Taiwan’s name for Taiwan, also FYI.
It is beyond belief how lemmy military empire bots could think that war with China will be good for Americans or their soldiers, and that they need to protect a narrative that Taiwanese would overjoice with the results. May I suggest that you confer with colleagues on overthrowing US government giving you these orders instead.

These chips are in everything too. Electric vehicles need them, factories and businesses want them.

Your post sounds like AI slob. Taiwan Ukraines puppet? I just stopped there…

It’s biggoted to say the Taiwanese are insufficiently biggoted to be motivated to suicide?
