    This shouldn’t need to be said, but I caution everyone reading your comment to consider it may be wrong.

      Oh, 100%.

      My background in geopolitics is basically non-existent.

      This is “do your own research” levels of postulation.

      Having said that, I’ve been singing this tune since nVidia became a trillion dollar company. I do have a background in the tech industry, and can confidently say that there’s a single factory in Taiwan that FANG and our Military rely on supplying American chip makers. This is the basis of my observations/thoughts.

      The ramped up tensions in the South China sea were a harbinger of Xi’s statement to Biden in December.

      A lot of it seems correct to me. Would you like to actually rebuttal the comment instead of making a vague statement?
