    I mean, it kinda still does, but even if they did eventually invade, it wouldn’t necessarily make China the only game in town.

      Arizona has chip fabs coming on line, (damn Joe Biden!) but construction of a fab and actually making chips at scale are two very different challenges.

      China seems to be closest though, if they reach viable modern CPUs first…

      But realistically, I think China made a deal with the West to hold off on Taiwan until we have at least one modern chip fab working in the US and Europe
