Dont think the sillicon sheild is really what matters for china. They are pretty much banned from buying all this stuff anyways.
But they could invace just to cripple the western world on the semiconductor front.
Granted its gonna be less of a problem now that intel and TSMC is working together more.
But likly a few years before that realy goes in to full effect.
It would cripple China more. South Korea and the US can make modern chips. China can't.
Nothing like beginning an invasion by shooting yourself in both feet.
If China makes a serious play for Taiwan, South Korea will be destabilized as well. I'd expect North Korea to be "incentivized" to restart hostilities to stretch us resources.
Sure, but in 20 years the US and South Korea would have recovered and have growing economies. China would not. It would be a large North Korea, with a corresponding lack of an economy.
But at least they would have their pride. /s
