Seventy countries have recently backed “all Chinese efforts” to take the island
Summary
China is gaining global support for its claim over Taiwan, with 70 countries now endorsing its sovereignty and unification efforts—many omitting calls for peaceful resolution.
This shift follows China’s diplomatic push targeting the Global South, leveraging economic ties through infrastructure projects.
China looks to preempt Western sanctions in a Taiwan conflict by securing international legitimacy. Meanwhile, the U.S. and allies struggle to counter China’s influence.
Trump's return signals a firmer stance, but China’s diplomatic momentum complicates efforts to rally support against aggression.
The US plants may be coming online but it will still be years before they're at production capacity, and they'll probably never have all of the same production capabilities. The chip fabrication lines in Taiwan have been decades in development and growth.
Also even if we could make all of the chips, Taiwan still holds almost all the other incidental processes (especially packaging) that most advanced chip designs require these days.
Sorry... who's dying in a war against Russia? Taiwan or Europeans? Because I'm pretty sure unless you mean the Europeans specifically in Ukraine, it's neither.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and allies struggle to counter China’s influence.
What allies? There are some regional actors in Asia opposed to the PRC's imperialism, but the list of potential allies has gone down by a lot with Trump's actions.
