No. The biggest issue with Taiwan is that it’s where the USA gets all its superconductors from, and they do not want China to control that manufacturing arm, at all. It’s actually a national security risk to the USA given much of its newer aged military equipment and weapons rely on said superconductors.
If China makes a move on Taiwan there will be a response. And I think it might just happen actually.
