China Threat AI Defense
There you have it. President Trump comes back from Beijing and when asked point-blank — "would you defend Taiwan?" — the answer is "I don't talk about that."
Taiwan makes over 90% of the world's most advanced semiconductors. Every F-35 processor. Every NVIDIA GPU training our AI models. Every chip in every weapons system we field. ALL of it — one island, 100 miles off China's coast.
And we won't commit to defending it.
A DISGRACE.
But wait — didn't Congress throw $52 BILLION at this problem? The CHIPS Act was supposed to end our dependence on Taiwan. Four years later, U.S. semiconductor manufacturing share dropped from 40% of global supply to 12%. TSMC's Arizona fab? Delayed. Over budget. Intel? Hemorrhaging cash and begging for bailouts.
$52 billion in taxpayer money. Burned. We're MORE dependent on Taiwan today than when that bill was signed.
So the strategy is: waste tens of billions domestically, accomplish nothing, and then signal to Beijing that the one ally keeping our entire tech supply chain alive... might be on its own?
The White House readout from the summit didn't even MENTION Taiwan. The $11-14 billion arms deal that was explicitly on the pre-trip agenda? "Still undecided."
Xi got exactly what he wanted. He asked the question. He got strategic confusion instead of strategic ambiguity. Beijing is celebrating tonight.
This needs to be fixed. Taiwan isn't some abstract diplomatic chess piece — it's the chokepoint of American technological power. Lose Taiwan, lose the chips. Lose the chips, lose the AI race. Lose the AI race, and none of the rest matters.
