Taiwan, semiconductor manufacture and the US conflict with China
A rash of op-ed comments, reports and warnings in Washington over the past month have raised the danger of a catastrophic war between the United States and China over Taiwan in the not-too-distant future. All the increasingly bellicose anti-China propaganda accusing Beijing of planning to invade Taiwan ignores Washington’s provocative actions in deliberately stoking potentially the most explosive flashpoint in Asia.
The US is accelerating its confrontation with China, which began with the Obama administration’s “pivot to Asia” and was intensified on all fronts under Trump. Any suggestion that Biden, who played an active role as vice-president in Obama’s “pivot” against China, would ease tensions has been rapidly dispelled.

China said on Friday that it opposes the United States maliciously oppressing Chinese hightech enterprises, and vows to take necessary measures to uphold the legitimate rights and interests of its companies.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian made the remark at a regular news briefing after Washington added seven Chinese supercomputer entities to an economic blacklist for allegedly assisting Chinese military efforts.
The US Commerce Department banned the enterprises from receiving exports from US companies, citing activities contrary to US national security or foreign policy interests.
