Thanks for the link. I am reasonably well aware of the conflict and no questions that china wants Taiwan. I was just surprised to hear that the sentiment shifted towards such a short timeframe.

For me this was more of a decade thing. Maybe once everyone has diversified away a bit from the reliance ok chips from Taiwan and thus less skin in the game
