A Chinese takeover of Taiwan would be calamitous for the U.S., the region, and the world. China would have a foothold in the so-called first island chain, which would severely undermine America’s allies Japan, Australia, and the Philippines, and immeasurably strengthen China’s hand in the South China Sea. It would also give China access to Taiwan’s foreign exchange reserves, rated as the world’s fifth largest. And China would acquire control of the world’s microchip market, as Taiwan is the world’s premier manufacturer of microchips, which go into everything from cars to appliances.
The main impediment to an all-out Chinese invasion of Taiwan is America’s deterrent power, but that deterrence is rapidly diminishing. What has the Biden administration done to bolster America’s standing on the international stage? Nothing. Valuable resources are being diverted to combat climate change instead of meeting real, clear and present dangers.

“Valuable resources are being diverted to combat climate change” - actually means our money is being forcibly diverted to dictators and oligarchs, to enrich themselves and impoverish, weaken, and subjugate us, by means of a huge criminal fraud.
They are doing this deliberately, just like all their other scams (covid, Vax mandates) and it’s been going on for decades. They are only concerned with their power grab, and they all seem to be in bed with the CCP, so why would they stop them?
