That might be true but I feel like a lot of people underestimate how short-sighted capitalists are historically. Lenin wasn't joking when he said the capitalists would sell you the rope to hang them with
Sure, but if you fuck with that ecosystem even a little it can cause massive economy-grinding halts because of how hard it is to develop a high-tech semiconductor ecosystem. So just moving factories even will fuck with it and set the whole thing back decades. Which is why the west is nervous because Taiwan is the biggest exporter in the world
ahhh so taiwan's biggest/most influential industry is pretty unstable. So the PRC exerting pressure on that somehow could weaken them alot. Actually Taiwan unifying on the condition that the tech executives keep private control seems like it might actually be a thing.
