   I fully expect this to happen during Trump's administration.   
   He probably realizes he won't be able to do anything about it,   
   especially after his designs on other foreign countries and   
   alienation of his main allies.   
      
   ["No, you haven't been ATTACKED by China so Article 5 doesn't   
   require us to come to your aid..."]   
      
   Of course, more and more manufacturing is TRYING to be on-shored.   
   But, I suspect that is nowhere near enough to address the   
   potential of Taiwan going off-line -- even briefly.   
      
   I'm thinking back to how screwed up the supply chain got during   
   COVID and wonder what manufacturers and investors will do when   
   the future is far less certain than a "pandemic".   
      
   Opinions?
