I wonder if there's a Tawiane SemiConductorr Manufacturing company that the US is getting ready to dump a couple billion in to that would benefit from higher trade costs with China...wonder what Nancy's market position is in regards to such a company...

China reaffirms threat of military force to annex Taiwan


https://us.yahoo.com/news/china-reaffirms-threat-military-force-042447807.html



BEIJING (AP) — China on Wednesday reaffirmed its threat to use military force to bring self-governing Taiwan under its control, amid threatening Chinese military exercises that have raised tensions between the sides to their highest level in years.

The statement issued by the Cabinet’s Taiwan Affairs Office and its news department followed almost a week of missile firings and incursions into Taiwanese waters and airspace by Chinese warships and air force planes.

The actions have disrupted flights and shipping in a region crucial to global supply chains, prompting strong condemnation from the U.S., Japan and others.

An English-language version of the Chinese statement said Beijing would “work with the greatest sincerity and exert our utmost efforts to achieve peaceful reunification."

“But we will not renounce the use of force, and we reserve the option of taking all necessary measures. This is to guard against external interference and all separatist activities," the statement said.

Sounds like they might be gearing up for a blockade. And they'll likely call it an embargo to protect Chinese interests.
