The West must heed the warning from Taiwan: China is threatening global freedom
Beijing poses two different but equally significant dangers. The first is its current insidious and intensifying campaign of influence, infiltration, intimidation, and espionage. This is already well under way and threatens the foundations of liberal democratic societies everywhere. The second is active war, which would be catastrophic for the entire world.
As threats to "Global Freedom" go, Xi & China have a lot of catching up to do to compete with Trumpolini & the FSoA.🙄 At least so far in the last 30 years or so, they haven't dispatched their Bombers & Missiles to drop the Death from Above on anybody to attempt to convince them they need Freedom & Democracy like we have in Amerika. Granted they do flood everybody's stores with cheap toys and clothes, but that's not quite as threatening to freedom as having your kids' school turned into rubble during recess.
Not hard to imagine what would happen to the AI and Data Center Bubble if/when Xi decides he's tired of having the Taiwanese Pols trash talking him in the press. Memory Chips will be as scarce as 12 year old virgins at Epstein's prep school after a Trump sponsored beauty pageant.
