Problem of course is that China supplies the rare earth metals used in U.S. missile chips; and any war over Taiwan is going to be a naval/air war. There’s also the possibility of Lai using a US visit to stabilize his political power after a failed coup to instate martial law like South Korea.

Not really. Refusing the DPP presidents from entering New York has happened since the 2000s with president Lee. Most presidents are allowed to stop in Hawaii, while on the way to South America. The New York stop is to gladhand/lobby U.S. politicians and is seen as implicit approval of Taiwan.

Alternatively, China claims the U.S. could destroy them. Either way, a war would almost certainly damage or destroy the fabricators. Even a blockade of Taiwan that inflicts no damage would cause power outages that would force the closure of the factories and market.

TSMC moved 6 factories to the U.S. and 2 of them are capable of 2nm now (still risk runs and not economically sustainable, but that’s just a matter of time). So an invasion wouldn’t really cripple everyone, just China (only in short term).

That meaning for the phrase rose to prominence in 2017 when hamas used it in their charter to describe precisely that. It was used by Netanyahu’s Libud party to describe Israel’s borders since 1967. And before that, it was used to describe freedom from British colonialism.
