Keep on making those chips. We need your country's manufacturing capability to produce chips for our toys. We in the United States of Idiots have a record of abandoning our "friends" when they are no longer of any use to us. See Vietnam. Iraq, and Afganistan as current examples. I'm not saying we should have been in any of those countries, to begin with, but we did abandon them when it suited our political needs.
Since Taiwan has no oil, rare earth minerals, or many "white" people if you lose your edge in chip design and manufacture you will quickly see no more of Uncle Sam. After all, we can't risk our economic ties to China over a small island of no strategic importance. Think Hong Kong.
Oddly enough, Taiwan has a claim to some of the islands in the '9 dash line' so technically, they'd officially claim they have lots of oil haha. It's all rubbish though, given that its international waters being falsely claimed by several countries (albeit a few have some very legitimate claims within their water borders).
America's allegiance to this country is definitely something in the back of my mind most days. Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Edward.
