Sadly, I don't think China would care what Taiwan does to itself if it chooses to invade. The goal is the elimination of an irritant, not economic gain.

well, given the ccp's chip plant couldn't work out after $18 billion, I'm pretty sure that they would want every bit of it that they could get.

Would set the world’s technology back by quite a bit.

I don’t know why all the NATO aligned nations haven’t fortified Taiwan to the hills already.

How could removing the main competitor be a deterrent?
