US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo says if China were to reunify with Taiwan, the US would be devastated due to the ramifications that would hold for the chips market.

In a congressional testimony on Wednesday, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo emphasized the potentially severe consequences for the United States if China were to decide to reunify with Taiwan.

Raimondo, showcasing that the US is only interested in Taiwan’s “security” because of its importance in the microchip sector, highlighted the critical role of Taiwan in microchip supply and production, stressing the decades-long collaboration between Taipei and Washington in this domain.

Speaking before the US House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science, Raimondo underscored the significance of Taiwan’s contribution to the microchip industry. She pointed out that the United States currently relies heavily on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), procuring 92% of its leading-edge chips from the Taiwanese firm.

    Good. I’d say maybe the US shouldn’t have invested all it’s eggs in the imperialist basket, but then, it’s very existence is imperialism.

    They may as well cry about how the (partial) abolishment of slavery and decolonization movements “devastate” the west next- well, they already do, and this counts as the latter.
