Well, all of this comes down to the tech industry, mixed with the USD as the reserve currency.
US interests lie in Taiwan primarily for semi-conductors; Nvida, Taiwan Semi, Qualcomm, etc. Proxy wars have been raging between the Dept. of Commerce and China for quite some time. However, recently the US began banning high-end semi-conductor exports/imports between the Chinese and US. It's been crippling their industry since October 7th of 2022. So the Chinese will now become more reliant on Taiwan and the US to fund their tech advancements. This puts China at a major disadvantage to be a tech competitor and is most likely going to be looked back upon as the primary precursor to war. Similar to the US oil embargos placed on Japan before the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
On top of that, all global nations know that the US cannot continue to guarantee it's public debts; the US included. So, at the same time, US officials are most likely going to use any military conflict to absorb their debt obligations and possibly make other nations pay for them. This is largely what is happening in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Ukraine is massively indebted to a series of long-term funding contracts between them and the United States; as are Germany, France, Poland, etc.
The USD is at stake of being demounted and not replaced. All nations of the world know this! The US will eventually have to go into hyperinflation or a series of global/military involved agreements to alleviate the debt. It's all a game of "I'm getting desperate, so pay for my stuff!"
