Is there a timeline or something? And would it involve war?

    If the US collapses I doubt war will happen unless Taiwan is militarized enough to pose a challenge

      The US will collapse, but that's still a while away. Will China wait for that?

          But Taiwan are so far ahead of anywhere else in the world on chip making. That surely won't be anytime soon?

              How will China get better at chip making than Taiwan in the next two years?

                They're not that far ahead anymore, and China is catching up at an extremely rapid pace. They will likely overtake Taiwan in this decade.

                well they went from nothing to a continents' worth of high speed rail in a decade's time, and became leaders in the field to boot

                I think they can figure out the chips too. Maybe 5 years instead of 2, give or take
