“Pay us or china will take you over”.

China rolls in and takes over. TSMC foundry and its technology is then used by china.

Foundries have said they'd sabotage the machines if taken, so... computers won't be made for a while if that happens.

If I was to play devil's advocate, then I'd argue that the idea is that taiwan does not really have a choice. They'll pay and china won't move in.

Republicans lately have been siding with the larger power in every fight. I'd wager a pretty penny that trump would roll over if China invaded Taiwan.

Yeah Trump is a complete simp for dictators.

Remember the embarrassing bromance he had with the Korean dictator just because he paid him a compliment and called him your excellency. Trump melted in his hands. Such a fragile ego.

Or they cant afford to pay, america is extorting the country, starts to increase military spending and china invades.

Because america wont help unless Taiwan pays.
