    Because Taiwan is a very valuble small peice of land.
    Microchip manufacturing facilities there are going to be important in the near future with the worlds increasing dependance on computing power & electronics manufacturing.

    If Taiwan was just another pocket of rural china then the CCP wouldnt give anywhere much of a shit… but they still probably wouldnt like it “getting away”.

      Taiwan already has plans to destroy those fabs if china invades, they will get nothing of the sort

      The CCP was obsessed with conquering the island long before the first fab was built there. They just didn’t have the means to pull it off. They don’t have those now either, but enough yes-men must have told Xi otherwise.
