In May, President Joe Biden issued a stark warning to China: The U.S. would come to Taiwan’s defense militarily if China were to invade.
Although the White House quickly affirmed the president’s comments did not reflect a policy shift, his remarks came at a time of heightened concern over China’s interest in Taiwan following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Any potential action could have repercussions on the global supply china. Taiwan has positioned itself as the go-to supplier of the semiconductors found in countless electronics, from the iPhone to crucial military equipment. But the global reliance on Taiwan for these essential chips has come under increased scrutiny amid a global shortage.
Watch the video above to find out more about why tensions between China and Taiwan are on the rise, the importance Taiwan plays in the global supply chain and what experts think could come of China’s increased aggression against its neighboring island.

the only way is to float the island away from china

Theres just no need for war anywhere. Why is that continent crazed for war. The middle east, Russia, North Korea, China etc. etc.
I'd take note of the fact that the U.S. is in the process of building new American based chip fabs at the fastest rate since the 90's. Congress is debating a HUGE 40+ billion dollar government subsidy for onshore chip fabs. We are taking no chances.
Due US interfere, tention is rising.
Semoga cepat perang ….
Why doesn’t America make chips in America? Guessing greed and stupidity, it’s is reckless and should change.
Why are some of these people smiling when talking about this, people really are losing it!
Don’t just save all your money in the bank as they tax you so much keeping it. It’s better to invest your money for future expenses. Everyone needs to create a passive income stream to stay debt free and live comfortably
And this is why NATO was always supposed to be strong, with each member pulling their weight. The socialists won't ever go national outside their legal borders just over a one leader if they know the allies will not only effortlessly surpass all their movements but be able to force the payment of rightful dues if they cause any damage trying
I 100% get why the the NATO members and allies weighed its value with our power player members mistakes, but if you don't trust the power players then trust yourself with your reserves
Wait until the mass in America stands up. Then the sleeping giant from the east will have easy land to take.
We all know US doesn’t have the capability to defend Taiwan. They can try, but they will fail, just like they are falling to help Ukraine.
Gang gang
Dear Miss Tsai ,
Drop the big uncle , USA
and do not adopt the one
America one system formula.
Yes , don't get confuse. One China three systems
can also be a one Taiwan three system advocacy
Taiwan and China has
NOTHING TO DO WITH
AMERICA. CHINA IS THE NEW DEMOCRACY
TAIWAN IS NON DEMOCRATIC AND NON
COMMUNISTIC UNDER CHANG KAI SHEK. IT IS
AUTHOCRATIC.
