Guest Post by Chris MacIntosh
I am going to precede what I am going to talk about here with something else that in itself I would have thought rather noteworthy.
Xi just opened the CCP conference on Monday with the statement that the control of Hong Kong is now “complete” and that “Taiwan is next.”
I am pretty stunned that there is — at least as of my writing this — no comment in Western MSM on this.
Now, considering the above, think of the dumbest person you’ve ever met.
Amplify this person by, say, 100X and then imagine what such a person may do given the above.
You think I’m being overly sensationalistic? I wish I were.
I am still in shock.
Which is saying something because, quite honestly, I feel like I’ve become pretty impervious to absolute insanity over the last 3 years or so.
Deep breath. Here it is.
The US government just imposed new export controls on China’s chip industry.
To put it simply, sleepy Joe has forced all Americans working in China to choose between quitting their jobs and losing their American citizenship.
As a result, pretty much every American executive and engineer working in China’s semiconductor manufacturing industry resigned this last week, paralyzing Chinese manufacturing overnight.
As of right now, every advanced node semiconductor company is currently facing a comprehensive supply cut-off, resignations from all American staff, and immediate operations paralysis.
For example, chip giant ASML has stopped providing services and support to mainland China.
This is a financial war. When do they just start shooting?
So why is this an assured invasion of Taiwan?
Because the only way that China can now restore its chip manufacturing is by going to the largest chip manufacturing plant in the world: Taiwan.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC), which is the world’s most valuable semiconductor manufacturer, reportedly accounts for over 56% of the global market share of the semiconductor industry.
And with that much dominance in a market that most electronic devices and parts rely on, China having control over Taiwan would give it more power in the semiconductor industry.
Smart investors are already preparing for what’s coming…

If china invades Taiwan there will be no more factory’s to produce chips.
The balance to find is how much of Taiwan can be destroyed without damaging the chip making facilities beyond repair.
That is the real issue. In order to maintain what it seeks, China would have to secure the chip factories before the real battle began. This makes it a much more complicated operation, and would require sleeper cells to be embedded in Taiwan, that would coordinate with special forces landing covertly in several different locations.
Not only would China have to secure the factories, and successfully attack Taiwan simultaneously, it would have to be able to defend those factories very quickly after occupying them because the US would undoubtedly target the chip factories to prevent them falling into China’s hands.
Were this to happen, and direct conflict between China and the US occurs. the war could escalate quickly. As we are seeing in Ukraine, drones are going to be a big part of future wars. China has a huge drone industry, capable of producing many more cheap drones, while the US has chosen to build far fewer more expensive and more advanced drones.
While the exact numbers are secret, we can assume China has several times as many as the US. China also builds long range drones that other country’s do not build, at least not in large number’s. These long range drones have the range to fly from China to the West coast of the the US and no one knows how many of these long range drones exist.
Drone attacks on western cities or infrastructure would force the Navy to keep enough ships offshore of west coast to provide air defense, effectively keeping them out of the Pacific Theater.
Yeah never will happen. Otherwise China will have to put it’s money where it’s mouth is and see how strong it’s actually troops are. If Russian can’t take over Ukraine with 10,000,000 troops, how can China with only 2,000,000 underfed troops invading a mountain? Also, do they really think the engineers will make them their chips at gunpoint? China needs to keep the war in East Asia going without actually invading anything.
I would respectfully disagree. China has 200 million males with no prospects of finding a wife. China puts no value on human life. These men will be put to use in the not too distant future.
Agreed.. well documented that China can field an army of 200 MILLION
Barely on topic, but this … THING … is incredibly cool, and just the tool you’d want for dealing with 200M angry soldiers rushing your castle.

If that “minigun” don’t scare the “you’ll own nothing & be happy” out of Klaus & Crew, nothing will.
Somebody dropped a bundle of money on ammo.
Now that was something else, I’d like to see that. One time back in the early eighties was crossing Ft. Bragg Reservation and saw them shooting a Vulcan machine cannon. Sounded like a real loud chainsaw reeving up, shell casings just piling around.
This was always the best part of the Waterworld movie.
A Ma Deuce x 2.
you read my mind!
okay. that is my new definition of … ‘unleashing hell’
Come on man- join reality. 20o million!? That’s almost as stupid as The Putin.
A direct predictable result of the one child policy. It is part of their long-term plan.
“If you outnumber your opponent five to one you must attack them.” – Sun Tzu
Russia borders Ukraine and Putin can drive there from Moscow. China has to cross the Taiwan Strait in either boats (slow targets) or planes (not much capacity per plane and where will you land?). The first thing Taiwan will do if attacked is destroy all of the ports in China with their missiles.
They also have lots of amphibious tanks. Check recent videos from the Chinese military.
“If Russian can’t take over Ukraine with 10,000,000 troops, how can China with only 2,000,000 underfed troops invading a mountain?”
Russia has only 700k troops, and has deployed less than 200k at any time in the Ukraine…China won’t invade, they will just blockade Taiwan to get their cooperation…
Stupidest comment ever on TBP.
I’m really glad you’re here.
No, seriously.
Good thing Biden has decided to send billions and military equipment to Taiwan as well. War with Russia and China; what could go wrong?
Interpretation: Best ever payments to me, the big guy, EVER…
Every move made by OGUS is meant to precipitate war with the bear and the dragon.
With a war, there is money made. With war, there is one more avenue to depopulation. With war, there is distraction and the groundwork to implement the final stages of the Great Reset.
Bastards, each and every one!
Throw in a star spangled invasion of the oil producing regions in Saudi Arabia. ‘Cuz, nobody focks with a Biden.
Naval blockade is the plan to annex Taiwan..troops go in after the starving begins..
They could kill every person on the island and repopulate it with loyalists from the mainland.
Yep, a quick acting bio agent to depopulate, let the virus die out after a few days or weeks and then just move in..
A lot of cleanup but the factories would be intact.. unless Taiwan goes scorched earth.
yep
The timing seems just a little too perfect, doesn’t it?
The US has never been weaker & the Chinks stronger.
They would be fools to not take advantage of the situation…although their economy is really in the toilet and sinking fast. Actually, that’s probably another motivating factor.
Like it’s all been part of a big plan.
The Great Economic Reset…part 3.
and the parasites wringing their hands in glee gather at the doorsteps…
China was already knee deep in taking Taiwan, this only accelerates the agenda by a few months. As for china being hamstrung by murikan sanctions…. lol ok sure…. China has more than enough murikan traitors willing to help china carry on manufacturing chips. The resignations of murikan personnel there will again only slow things down for a very short while. What it will do is immediately kill all chances of murikan business and military getting ANY chip tech from hong kong, or Taiwan.
Bestter get rid of that newer vehicle with all the bells and whistles, buy an older vehicle with little to no tech… 95 and earlier if you can…
China has said they will reunify with Taiwan peacefully. It is those countries who try to stop them who will feel the pain.
If you need equipment or tools, now is the time. A lot of steel parts come from China, even if it is “made in the USA”. I would suggest stocking up on essential antibiotics and meds, if you think you might need them, as well.
Great advice.
90% of pharmaceuticals, which means if there is something you can not do without, you had better start stockpiling.
Taiwan is a much better nation than Communist China, but it is not Canada’s, or indeed any western nation, outside perhaps of Australia, and New Zealand, fight. The Western Alliance, which is in reality an Empire, must give up the imperialist tendency to intervene worldwide, and stop sacrificing our young people in foreign lands.
LOL…. Canada is hard to tell from China nowadays, Trudeau thinks he is the Dear Leader of Canada. Canada is far more communist than it is a democracy.
No need for an invasion. Anyone heard they’ve just engineered the corona virus to be 80% lethality. Anyone for COVID 2.0??
