I imagine geopolitical concerns are the primary reason for US interest in controlling Taiwan. I'm not even sure what US is protecting the chip industry from exactly. It's not like US isn't utterly dependent on China for manufacturing already, and China is clearly perfectly happy to export chips to US. The whole problem ultimately stems from the irrational US policy towards China.

Yes, it's all the US doing this to poor China... Sure. Okay.

It's literally the burger empire coming half way across the world to fuck around in China's internal affairs. I sincerely hope Russia starts funding and supporting a separatist movement in Texas, so that burgerlanders can experience what that feels like first hand.

Russia doesn't need to do that. Burgerlanders already experience it through the magical way they render themselves blind to their government's behaviour unless it's projected onto China or Russia. Like how Trump is a Russian asset and China is turning Cuba into a staging ground for an invasion.
