On: US reportedly forcing TSMC to buy 49% stake in Intel to secure tariff relief

Like with Ukraine? Like with Iran? The US has proven its word is literally worthless and beholden to the whims of a dictator.

At this point, Taiwan would be foolish to not start working on a secret nuclear bomb program. North Korea has proven its the only way to actually protect yourself.

Yep. Nukes for Taiwan is the only solution.

Nuclear proliferation and subsequent war is inevitable imo.

[smallstepforman → jamiek88]

North Korea doesnt have nukes pointed at South Korea, they’re family. Likewise, Taiwan would never nuke China even if invaded.

China is being smart, it is modernising and growing amazingly fast, and Taiwan will be foolish not return to China peacefully in our lifetime.

I'm pretty sure giving nukes to Taiwan would be seen as an act of war by China.

[mullingitover → shkkmo]

No need to give them. TW can absolutely make them on their own, in fact they had at least one active project to do that and were forced to stop by the US.

I wouldn’t be even slightly surprised to learn they have a few MIRVs stashed away, pointed at Beijing, just in case.
