Chinese have learned from Trump's antics last time. This is their version of the Art of the Deal.
DeepSeek may have well accelerated the arrival of another dot-com bubble.
Now it's 200,000.
Whoever wrote the above doesn't understand that economic competition is one of the most important factors that drive socioeconomic progression, not politics.
Does he even know where Indo-Pacific is?
A battle on all fronts, the resources and weapon stock piles in the USA are bound to face some serious problems. Also really, has Trump really thought through his actions or is he just winging it? Recent actions seems to show to me that he has absolutely no idea WTF he has gotten himself into
Own goal, the guy is stupid as hell. Ok just like that, he screwed things up for Taiwan even worse. Looking forward to the final reunion between China and Taiwan and the ultimate FU to Trump as China completely cuts the USA off from all top of the line semi conductor chips for good. Seriously, he should get it into his head, the USA cannot innovate nor have the resources and man power to do so to defeat China in this life time or any life time for that matter.
I don't think it is an own goal. Trump and Xi would have planned out ways for the reunification of China by 2027. The US probably wants some assurance China won't completely cut them off from pharmaceuticals and high-end chips so they want some factories in US. They won't be cost competitive anyways, but it will help US public accept the "loss of Taiwan" easier.
