Actually China is likely getting Taiwan if Taiwan does what Teump wants. Trump ain't gonna do anything to protect Taiwan once he's got the semi prod.

The article says 50% of production. So the other 50% would still be in Taiwan and China wants it.

Not sure if that's agreement or disagreement. Yes China wants it but Trump won't protect Taiwan if he's got 50% of the prod in the US. If he's got that much semi capacity he's gotta have Taiwan-independent supply chains and it would be much easier to scale as needed. And therefore he wouldn't stand in the way of China taking over Taiwan one way or another.
