Gotta love the completely unsubstantiated claims you make.
Like USA having a stockpile of rare earths.
Substantiate or admit this is pure bullshit.
Likewise where is the evidence China has said they will invade Taiwan?
Like Trump has said he may use force to seize Greenland or that he will impose tariffs on European nations who sent troops to Greenland or his promise to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours?
China claims Taiwan territory and clearly is posturing that that could use force- but they absolutely do not want to use force and I suggest will not use force- to use force would be a failure.
To regain Taiwan by negotiation is what they want.
It would both avoid bloodshed of citizens and show that they are now of such status that they can.
Taking Taiwan by force would be a PR failure for China and a win for USA. It is not going to happen.
Trump will agree to a staged transition of power in Taiwan and this could be agreed as soon as April.
The concessions he will get would be substantial and given the fragile state of US finances and empire in general that has got to be a win for USA.
USA has known since before Trump2 that Taiwan will be regained by China.
Trump is a great salesman for the US military industrial complex.
$11 billion sales to a government that is militarily and monetarily subservient to USA and has been since the 1950s when it was formed using gold stolen from the people of China.
Biden knew the score but Trump is more open about USAs retreat from global empire and rationalisation toward a more regional hegemony over the Americas.
Taiwan for Greenland is the deal- take it or leave it, you are in decline and know it and moving your chip production away from Taiwan because you know its time is up.
Neon gas and the thousands of other essential strategic supply chains are falling or have already fallen to China.
