1418 Taiwant

The U.S. is poised to go to war with China because they both want Taiwan. When the U.S. established relations with China decades ago, they did so by adopting the One-China policy, which formerly recognized Taiwan as part of China, if not actually in practice. Since Taiwan is the only place in the world that can manufacture the ICs that run A.I., the U.S. has exhibited a schizophrenic foreign policy; saying one thing to China but promising privately to protect Taiwan, and all 3 nations simply overlook the dichotomy. Half the Taiwanese population would prefer to be part of China but the other half wants independence. For its part, China has constructed artificial islands in a bid for conquest by occupation. They consider all of the South China Sea as under their rule, regardless of what their neighbors think, up to and including violent confrontation. In times past, when the U.S. was the sole superpower, they dictated a country’s borders, but it’s a multi-polar world now. Even though America has not yet accepted that fact, they better because China has announced that by 2040, Taiwan will be fully integrated, and the U.S. isn’t going to be able to stop it.
