Taiwan: The microchip war behind the dispute with China since 92% of microchips worldwide (vs. 72% for the US) are made by Taiwanese.
TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) controls 92% of the world’s microchip production.
This particular development has made Taiwan essential territory for China, since whoever controls the island controls the global microchip market.
The Americans know this too, importing 72% of the microchips they use from Taiwan.
Will the US and China let this sensitive industry pass into the hands of the adversary? Probably not.
However, it is a fact that if Taiwan wants to, it can shake China’s dominance in technology.
Taiwan, if it wants to do damage to China, it can do it through technology.
We remind you that the Hague Court, where China and the Philippines had sought refuge for their rights in the South China Sea, vindicated the Philippines.
China has already informed that it will not take into account a decision that may affect its sovereignty in this maritime area.
Recently, the danger (and fear) of the Chinese invasion of Taiwan has been strongly discussed at the same time, since they have never stopped considering it as Chinese territory and wish for reunification (and even “peacefully” as they say).
On the other hand, Taiwan has no desire or intention to come under Chinese rule. However, the history between them is so “grey” that it is of particular interest.
However, the Chinese are ready for anything, in a situation reminiscent of Kastellorizo and Turkey.
