    The best part about it is that almost no US tech would work without Taiwan’s chips

    Oh and that China somehow did not get angry at that publicly as of yet, very weird

      At this point in time, China is just sitting back and laughing as Trump weaken the US.

      Remember, don’t correct an enemy as they are making a mistake.

        For all it’s flaws, the TPP was about to effectively zone China out of trading advantageously with the whole developed world. Now, US instability and bullying have made Japan and South Korea partner with China.

        Trump is handing China the 21st century on a silver platter.

          It’s also quite ironic that originally China’s low wages were seen as the core problem/reason how they could offer products so cheaply.
          But the way Trump is destroying things the need for low US wages will come up again…

          Alas, of course everything across the board will get more expensive with his tariffs, from vegetables, to electronics, energy and housing, so the common worker will be screwed and locked in his situation, preferably unable to go on strike.

        They’re patiently waiting for the value of American businesses crash hard to buy it for cheap

        I feel like Russia is laughing, and China and America are both the crying wojak with the smirk mask.

      He also listed uninhabited Australian islands and a US military base on an otherwise uninhabited UK island as separate countries. So I would guess China decided that the country list is basically meaningless.
