US don't care about European economies... that's the biggest problem for the Europe.

Even more Ironic is that they claim Mongols are opressed yet Mongols are the third largest ethnic group in the PLA.
Quite the change in tone, hardcore secessionist must be furious.
Suppose what I guessed here is true, this would be just another further step of that. At this point if CPC wants to tango like Second Taiwan Strait Crisis and that "artillery duel but only on odd days" then we would expect sometime fairly soon they will say "although she did not mention 92 Consensus, we recognize the positive tone from Taiwan authority and are willing to work with them towards peaceful reunification."
And then Tsai will take that and go to the Americans and go "see they said peaceful reunification, war is cancelled, there's no longer a need to move TSMC to US."
Let's see if it plays out that way.

Or after seeing what the American did to Nord stream 2, Taiwan electricity grid is a tempting target...lol IF friendly persuasion is ignore then we will force the issue.
TSMC is probably used to that, since even on good day there's a decent chance for power to go out due to "small animals".Or after seeing what the American did to Nord stream 2, Taiwan electricity grid is a tempting target...lol IF friendly persuasion is ignore then we will force the issue.
But anyway what happens to TSMC is of interest to her but not very important to CPC. What's important is that if she's able to buy more time then I think CPC will play along with her.
Doesn't TSMC have major fabs in Shanghai, Nanjing and Shenzhen anyways? In the event of US aggression, China would offer a deal they can't refuse, reshore everything to the mainland facilities, stop all sales to anyone who does business with USA. Beijing can presumably generously compensate them for the sudden changes.
And any rogue elements of the company suspected of sending equipment or products to USA will be treated as military target.
TSMC does have importance because it represents a huge part of US semiconductor imports. While China doesn't need the company to function, US does.
It is, in other words, basically the Eastern equivalent of Nord Stream. And by shutting down the pipeline, US will be deprived from vital parts needed to power their electronics industry. Beijing should in the first place try to turn the screw shut on the pipeline, but if something causes that to not work, it should blow up the pipeline so nothing can make it to America.
Only in Nanjing, the American didn't approve their FAB investment plan in Shenzhen together with their expansion in Nanjing.
Bro after what happen to NS2 the Russian will not let it happen especially within the CSTO countries.

Tsai realizing now that tension is now used as justification for decoupling by West/East from Taiwan.

I don't think she's that smart. She's probably just observing that China has used Pelosi's trip to create a new norm of frequent military activity around Taiwan and she wants to go back to pre-Pelosi times. Semiconductor shit, she's not going to get but "now more PLAAF sorties than before, want to go back to before," that's still probably within her ability to comprehend.
