good luck with that lol
China simps want China to fight the US so badly to make them feel like big boys who took the big boy side.
Despite the fact that neither China nor the US want to fight.
It's funny, in a sad kind of way.
Invading the Falklands absolutely trashed Argentina's economy, and being offside with the UK continues to hurt them.
Attempting to invade Taiwan would utterly destroy the Chinese economy, and I think they're smart enough to know it.
And don't give them any benefits, TSMC most valuable asset is their employees not the machines, anyone can buy ASML machines, only TSMC employees can do it as good as they do
AFAIK China isn’t allowed to buy loads of fancy ASML machines, however TSMC has said they have procedures to destroy those machines if there’s ever an invasion
anyone can buy ASML machines
I'd be very surprised if China was allowed to do this after invading Taiwan.
A yes of course, but I was talking more about how AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, Samsung all have the best in the industry, but still no one can just buy ASML and make chips as good as TSMC
America could wipe the floor with China and still have the capacity to fight Russia at the same time.
It's what our defense budget is for.
Who wants to fight China?
We just want to make money, it’s the most core American value.
It’s the tankies on ML who wish China would export communism instead of practicing “capitalism with Chinese characteristics”
While I agree that China is our biggest actual threat in the world outside of a smaller rogue nation starting to lob nukes everywhere, China doesn't have a great track record with trying to take on any Western powers for centuries now. Even when they tried to take on the west allied Japan it didn't go so hot for them.
China's made the mistake of their massive population. They can't handle an all-out war without many dying
Ah its that stalinazi... Fuck him
Honestly China and the US should be allies. It would be a unstoppable combo.
The US ambition to fight China will never stop being hilarious
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
