I can see some American politicians are celebrating this as a blow to (communist) China.

But is this not hurting Taiwan in a major strategic long term way? And risks turning the whole island towards mainland.

And for the ones celebrating "Re-industrilization of America". Is the America you envision really a America which does not have anything of importance produced outside America. Even if outside means traditional allies such as Germany, Japan, Taiwan ... ?



Taiwanese people probably wish to not be strategic in a China-US battle.

That only means the destruction of that island.


Taiwan is strategic to the US-China battle because it is strategic to China; if Taiwan reunites with China, China will have full access to the Pacific.


The narrative of American politicians, particularly President Trump, against Europeans has not manifested in the general public, especially in the tech industry. Americans and Europeans work together much in the same way, atleast in my personal experience and exposure to both continents. The tech industry is too smart to be manipulated by politicians.


I can see from the comments that it is being celebrated here.
