Country builds up industry to not rely on opposing country in preparation for war.

Maybe we should be slightly concerned about that? IMHO it shows that Chinas ambition for Taiwan are quite serious.

I'm far from pro China, but I think this is a bit of an unfair assessment. Simplest explanation is theyre trying to look out for their economy. They've basically been sanctioned out of high end processors. They need to make their own now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Yes, but a decent portion of why they've been sanctioned is because of said antagoniziation towards Taiwan

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Sure, that's certainly a valid point. But at the very least it shows that they don't expect the sanctions to stop anytime soon. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that a war with Taiwan is coming.
