Taiwanese car industry is an utter failure. Partnering with them to make EVs is throwing money into the trashcan.

They produce ~0.01 cars per capita (~240k) and declining.

China produces 30 million cars - 0.02 cars per capita. Double the car production per capita than Taiwan.

Taiwan has 0 automotive exports.

There are 0 automotive brands of note from Taiwan.

You can't drive a chip just like you can't watch a chip, which is why TCL, Hisense, etc. are making bank as TV producers. The display matters, the physical actuators matter, not just the computing device.

I was thinking about parts and electronics components. Taiwan does have auto parts exports. EVs require more electronics components which Taiwan should be able to supply.

I think the TPP legislators can be "convinced" to support the DPP, and that would be enough to control the legislature.
Hopefully the opposition members in the legislature are intelligent enough to realize that the voters want to meep the status quo in political side of the equation.

Can I propose a thread for the moderators to consider? "The month after reunification"

What happens after a less bloody reunification (as opposed to a military led reunification)?

What changes in Taiwan for the common person? What "rights" disappear? What government departments/ ministries get dissolved? What happens to the armed forces? Culture shock for both sides?

Nothing. See Hong Kong, July 1 1997.

It depends on how things play out and the power dynamics involved. The timeline matters too—will it happen in 30 or 50 years? Is it when China dominates the Western Pacific, possesses massive global economic influence, and exerts dominant soft power?

If China wields overwhelming power and its opponents are weak and in disarray, a peaceful reunification might result in a one-country, one-system scenario with complete CCP control.

Conversely, if China's power is less and its opponents are strong, Taiwanese consent might only extend to a Hong Kong-style arrangement or perhaps even more extensive rights. China has even indicated a willingness to let Taiwan keep its military—an allowance beyond what Hong Kong ever had.

In the case of a reunification enforced by military means, the likely outcome leans towards a one-country, one-system setup with the CCP in full control.

From which American and who's publication? Can you provide the author and publication behind the paper? We have to be sure we're not inadvertently posting links that are actually Trojan horse for malwares etc. We trust people here enough that we maybe able to drop our guards down.

4 years later DPP is severely weakened. They almost lost if the opposition vote was not split. Young people have flocked to pro-China Ko wen Je who has even said he is open to supporting 92 consensus to have dialogue with Beijing. I have also read that the youngest of the cohort, below 18 kids are actually pro-China these days due to consuming alot of Chinese media, Douyin and such.

Do you have some sources for this?
