Taiwan has the chips.

Would China risk military conflict with us ? Betting money still says no, but tensions have increased. And no, it’s not about trump or Biden .

It's about more than just chips, but yes, they are a significant part of China's desire to expand and take Taiwan. I have to disagree with you on one thing. In part, I think it is about Biden. I think that China will be betting that Biden won't do anything it they invade Taiwan. They know that under Trump we would have, so they waited to see who our new leader would be. Notice how the tensions and the rhetoric have increased since Biden took the reigns? They (China) are not dumb.
