There's always a lot of these "what Taiwan can learn from xxx" articles and many times these things do not age very well in the long run.

i give you clear answer why US has allies and vassals. US removed Qaddafi leading from behind. it was Gulf Monarchies interests to remove him. and US repeatedly demonstrated protection of Israel and i am sure it was US/Arabs interest not to allow Europe to become too powerful that helped countries like Japan. or India would have this much consumption without US and these two countries ultimately benefited Gulf Arabs. any one with technical ability can migrate to US if he/She is needed and US still wealthy than most of the world. so why do you think US will not have allies and vassals?.
About second part you can only understand Russia when you understand Gulf Monarchies. This is the most important point that you keep ignoring. Whether its FIFA 2018 Cup or Wagner/Africa or Putin deeply studying Turkish economy in 2024 or Israel/Iran or Ukraine its all about Gulf Arabs. these are unofficial constraints on Russia that are not easy to observe. Some of those constraints decreases attractiveness for sports and short term economic growth.

If this editorial was a homework assignment I would give it a D at best. The author is intellectually and factually bankrupt.
You worry is not unfounded. The US government did have a history of planting bugs into routers. They have been doing this for a long time.
Every accusation they make is a confession.
America is laying the revanchist groundwork to claim that core areas of China don't really belong to China and in fact can belong to any country or no one - much like Putin has done before he initiated the attack on Ukraine.
In fact the proper response for this is to move the war to Europe, Israel and the Americas, the territory viewed by Washington as their own core areas. By empowering armed actors, revanchist allies of China and even just random criminal fighters in these regions, China can interdict NATO before NATO can assemble an Asian invasion force.
The other response is that should US manage to attempt invasion anyways, China must restrict fighting for US to Taiwan province only. Unlike Ukraine, which has no choice on where Russia can strike due to sheer power difference, China can reach out to anywhere in Asia with extreme violence to deter the invaders' behavior.
Were an American invasion force to, as the article threatens quote: "and every Chinese worker should understand that working in a Chinese defense factory could be his or her death warrant.", China must respond with such disproportionate violence that whoever provided the base for the terrorist attack is forever deterred from carrying out another. What I am speaking of is the replication of the most infamous civilian massacres in history, perpetrated this time through aerial means, which is well within Chinese industrial ability to deliver, anywhere up to 1000-3000km away from the mainland.
It is morally justified in the face of defense against invasion.
Through such threats alone, never mind actually needing to carry them out, China can restrict the invaders into a predictable path towards Taiwan only and prevent disruptions to economic functions on the mainland.
Yeah, I'd like to see those Wanwanese rebels attempt to land on the beaches of Xiamen and march to Beijing from there. It'll absolutely be the biggest ever military operational joke the world has ever seen.

Its more Sinophobia yellow peril. The Washington Post is suddenly so alarmed about kitchen accidents. But only when it involves something Chinese, i.e.: tanghulu and Tiktok. Americans have a much higher chance of getting scalded brewing hot coffee than making tanghulu.
Imagine if someone wrote that lighting a Hanukkah menorah could potentially burn down your home. That person will immediately be labeled as antisemitic and possibly serve jail time.

The problem with Nuclear reactors is they always look a lot easier to put together on paper. China can probably design a reactor as good as Russia, but actual building and operation is a painful process. Even such a mature company like Areva had the operational problems at Taishan.
“Scholar” Gordon Chang, hilarious!
Personally I’m not a big fan of Taiwan liberation fanfic, Rubin, Ian Easton, they are all pretty repetitive. Pretty much like those YA vampire romance series.
So you do agree with me.
You mean these kinds of chips?
No thanks India. Our biology and technology are not compatible to your chips.
