  1. China can't ever take Taiwan semiconductor production. And there's a reason for that. One thing that rarely said is that the chip production line can be remotely bricked. And guess who inadvertently told everyone about that? China. A few month ago, one of China's Youtube propaganda channel (it's China Focus-CNF, not to be confused with China Focus-NTD, which is an anti China channel) taunted ASML that China will force ASML (the one company who build most of world chip production lines) to buy back all the machines that China has bought from ASML if ASML dares to brick those machines (apparently, the Dutch government just has a new regulation to that effect). But by doing that, they inadvertently announced their own weak point. Because the same method can also be used to other more important situation, such as if China sends any of their soldiers near Taiwan's chip production lines, then all the EU needs to do is to tell ASML to brick them.
