Hold onto your horses, people; just like shale oil and fracking made americans salivate over torching the middle eastern oil fields to get the world dependant on US hegemony for oil and access to oilfields, and how US' 'rare earths mine' in Colorado was gonna kill China's RE monopoly, the latest puff piece from the anglo presstitute service is how american manufacturning is returning and gonna kill Chinese manufacturing:
Not so fast, buddy; as Goldman would put it:
The thing is, the Americans have now made depriving China of its territory of Taiwan (which even american officially recognises as being an inalienable part of China) a matter of life and death for its regime, that if it loses Taiwan- indeed- if it loses the entire presence of east asia, since a war over Taiwan will not remain localised- there is going to a greater than 50% chance of violent civil revolt at home. American leaders can't make deals with China without looking weak, so it's going to a death spiral into war.
for better or worse, the USG has made its entire legitimacy predicated on whether or not Taiwan is returned to China or 'remains democratic'.
Noone in the USG has the cojones to reverse that tide so it's looking more and more like the young being dragged off to a war by petulant boomers.
