Summary
Taiwan’s government is closely monitoring reports that SpaceX has requested its Taiwanese suppliers to relocate manufacturing to countries like Vietnam and Thailand due to “geopolitical” concerns, specifically potential conflict with China.
Taiwan’s Economic Affairs Minister JW Kuo expressed confidence in Taiwan’s resilient supply chain but acknowledged the situation.
The request has sparked anger in Taiwan, with some accusing Musk of being ungrateful for local suppliers. The incident has also garnered attention in China, with some praising Musk’s foresight regarding China’s unification goals.
WWIII was already about to happen, now the spinning plates are being handed to the closest thing we’ve got to the antichrist. Sorry for sounding bothered
But with who? Trump isn’t going to go up against Putin and Putin and Xi are allies, so he won’t go up against Xi either.
Much easier for all of them to turn a blind eye to each other for the foreseeable future with three authoritarians in charge.
So you’re imagining a stable power vacuum as the greatest superpower in history willfully shrinks due to the leadership of a foreign asset?
Respectfully, why?
No, I said what I was imagining:
There is no power vacuum there.
I just don’t see how that translates to the game board as it stands without a world war ensuing. There are enough nuclear powers in the world that someone is popping off before we get there.
Not interfering with each other would mean no war with each other.
A three-sided Cold War that stays cold has been the goal for a while. America has agreed.
Three bullies dragging the world along while they control their people and other nations with fear and the promise of economy.
