How has China taken over already?
China doesn't have domestic advanced chips like Taiwan
edit: I mixed it up. the info below is actually for Hong Kong
So, a bit of a summary:
Taiwan was seized from China by UK back in the day.
Taiwan started protesting against UK demanding independence.
UK went "fuck you, here china, you have them back".
Taiwan is not happy about being given to china, they wanted independence not a much more brutal overlord. Taiwan resisted China for years and there was saber rattling and political Maneuvering.
China was building up militarily and had many plans to try military conquest. But they all went up in smoke due to catching a bunch of internal corruption that left them far weaker than they expected. Such as the scandal where 70% of their missiles have been fuelled with water instead of fuel (which ruined the whole thing), and other scams going on. Executed a bunch of generals.
China was having much better results doing political subversion instead.
See polls showed 95% of Taiwanese were against being absorbed by China and had massive protests against that for well over a decade. (it actually started as merely 80% against but as the protests played out it rose all the way up to 95%)
China did repeated back and forth, with every round arresting and disappearing leaders and organizers.
China basically has some appointees in high offices in Taiwan, but they were checked for years by the elected officials. They would do back and forth where they would heavily bribe high ranking politicians to make ridiculous unvoted on laws (somewhat similar to executive orders, but not exactly. Rather, they are delcaring what their congress voted on, but lying about what it voted on).
So thay would make ridiculous laws threatening their independence and there would be massive protests, they would arrest leaders and then seemingly back down. But each time people bled energy and leadership. Anti china polls rose higher, but actual protesters in the street were getting smaller.
Around 2022 IIRC China managed to get Taiwan politicians who are in their pocket to declare a law (without actually voting on it) that it is treason to even suggest independence from China. Rounding up every elected official and seating member of their congress who is a member of the freedom from china political party and throwing them in prison, then moving them from taiwan prison to china prison where they disappeared.
And that was that. They are all in prison in china now or dead.
Xi actually flew over to Taiwan and gave a victory speech there.
US MSM completely ignored the whole thing.
Biden administration basically gave Taiwan to china on a silver platter.
And now we are kinda fucked. Because our CPUs are made in Taiwan, now a subordinate of china
So... yea, china already won and is now slow cooking Taiwan
