China depends so heavily on them too, it's the biggest export market for chips, the silicon shield is a fucking masterstroke of national defense strategy, it's stronger than any nuclear weapon.
Taiwanese have known how precarious their existence is since the vend of WW2, getting ahead of the curve in advanced manufacturing is the culmination of that after 80 years.
It's a lose/lose situation for any side that tries mess with the status quo at this point. No one wins, the pawn sits in the same place on the chess board. Xi would be insane to gamble his legacy on it.

You seem quite knowledgeable about Taipei anon, do you have any advice on good areas for a westerner to live?
Early 30's single anglo guy, don't really party much but do enjoy socialising, with some beers. Keen on greener areas.
12 months, willing to go up to 50k, but don't want to get stuck on a lease in a dull place for that much.
Been travelling around to check things out, Songshan isn't for me. Everyone seems to just say Daan for that price but I don't know, it is nice. Am a remote worker don't need to be close to the city, only going into town 3 days a week simply to get out of the house. Not fussed about travelling distance, MRT is comfy enough.
Xindian seems alright, mainly for the mountains and hiking, thinking I should check out Shilin and Beitou soon.
A lot of the advice seems family orientated, in other cities there's usually defined expat areas but not so much here.
Any suggestions appreciated, in research mode, might rent a room for a night in different areas just to make sure first.
Planning to learn Mandarin but seems I'm fucked not speaking it trying to rent, I hear there's agents who will help but have no idea how to find them.
