that's something very unlikely to happen. But if they think about giving nuclear weapons to Taiwan then china also has options to give nuclear weapons to usa adversary such as Iran or maybe Saudi Arabia in return they side with them. And everyone knows that usa won't do anything that will harm Israel.

I immediately thought Elon Musk being rocket madman.
I don't think giving US adversaries nukes is a good strategy or even beneficial. The better option is to give Taiwan 24 hours to return all nukes or get nuked into oblivion. A firm ultimatum similar to Cuban missile Crisis. Even if China has to stomach a nuke or 2, it's better to prevent Taiwan from Getting a lot of Nukes. China can also dictate that any US given Nuke that strikes China will lead to full retaliation on US mainland.
Allowing Taiwan to have even 1 nuke is pretty much acceptance of Taiwan Independence.

It is only worse if you only look at domestic Indian population but Indians with global wealth has done well. they are essentially extension of Gulf economic system and this free flow of capital is routed through them in direction where greater wealth can quickly made. who else but Gulf Arabs knows inside of this system.
India has unique GDP. Its stock market is larger than GDP like more developed wealthy countries.

I was worried there but still unsure after the truce I heard China dropped its rare earth ban. Why would they do that when Trump hasn't pulled back on all his tariffs on China? Then I saw on CNBC this morning telling the audience that China still has their ban in place. So who knows? Then there's that story that South Korea was buying rare earths from China to be transferred to the US. Frankly if US allies are going to follow Trump against China, they should be banned from Chinese rare earths to the least. All rats that are freakishly going to jump onto the US sinking ship should be targeted by China more.
As much as I am skeptical of China wanting to launch an unprovoked attack on Taiwan, having the island accept or develop nuclear weapons is a guaranteed way to trigger an immediate Chinese invasion.
A nuclear weapons program or even infrastructure projects to support foreign nuclear armaments would take months or years of preparation, all of which would be monitored by Chinese intelligence agents or satellites. I don't think it needs to be debated why China would perceive this to be an existential threat.
As soon as China confirms that Taiwan is about to go nuclear, it will almost definitely launch a military operation to remove that nuclear program or to overthrow its government altogether, regardless of how bloody the conflict might be or how ill-prepared China would be at that time.
The current consensus was it merely resumed Americans to apply for export. It is still up to China to approve on case by case basis, such as banning on US MIC.
