China cannot control TSMC by force - CEO Confirms

Seriously though, I just don't understand why all of these people in power honestly needs to show with invasions? Sure, it may have been a part of their country before, but not any longer. What do you actually gain in starting an actual invasion? You'll ruin your own image to the world (not that they care), no one wants to do business with you, the world hates you and you end up taking back just dust. Cause that is what is left after all the bombs etc have gone off.

This is atleast what has happened to Putin, whatever his goals were, I don't think he ahieved them. Other than hatred from the world, his country shut off from the world and so many deaths. Yet, he just sits in his mansion and smiles, while people are literally getting tortured because of him and his "decision". Coward.

One thing that came out of his "war" though, is that China has seen how badly his invasion has gone and has since reconsidered what an invasion of Taiwan would actually take.
 
The Russia thing is more nuanced than that. Russia's buffer of countries has been lost over time, with many countries going independent. This meant if an invasion / war were to happen, it would directly be invaded by a neighbouring country. Ukraine was the ideal choice to close the buffer line. I'm explaining this badly, but you can find YouTube videos explaining the situation.


Anyway, going back to the topic of Taiwan, I hope they don't get attacked. There's less incentive to invade in this age, largely due to economic impact. With the many monopolies like Visa controlling money, it's easy to isolate and deny money incoming to a country. It also has a much more longer term impact, taking decades to recover and benefit.
