Taiwan makes 65% of the world\u2019s semiconductors and roughly 90% of the advanced chips.<\/p>\n<p>In early November, Chinese Communist President\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/xi-jinping\">Xi Jinping<\/a> declared his country would focus on preparing for war, Express <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/world\/1693723\/preparing-war-china-xi-jinping\">reported<\/a>. The communist leader pointed to security concerns, claiming that it was \u201cincreasingly unstable and uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years, Xi has been ratcheting up his rhetoric around the use of military force to reunify Taiwan with mainland China, and in response, the West has done very little,\u201d Dr. Alan Mendoza, executive director of the Henry Jackson Society told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11403145\/China-focus-preparing-WAR-Xi-Jinping-declares.html\">the Daily Mail<\/a>. \u201cLiberal Democracies must now take him at his word, and work collectively, using all means necessary to deter Xi from invading Taiwan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a priority, Western nations must begin the process of removing all Chinese influence from critical industries such as energy, water and nuclear power,\u201d Mendoza continued. \u201cNext, we must immediately start the process of decoupling China from many of our most relied upon supply chain networks and develop new ones with likeminded partner nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October, the Chinese Communist Party interpolated an extra line into its constitution that stated it was \u201cresolutely opposing and deterring\u201d Taiwan\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-October, U.S. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/breakingdefense.com\/2022\/10\/navy-leader-cant-rule-out-chinese-invasion-of-taiwan-even-earlier-than-2027\/\">warned<\/a>\u00a0of a Chinese takeover of Taiwan, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s not just what President Xi says, it\u2019s how the Chinese behave and what they do. And what we\u2019ve seen over the past 20 years is that they have delivered on every promise they\u2019ve made earlier than they said they were going to deliver on it. So when we talk about the 2027 window, in my mind, that has to be a 2022 window or potentially a 2023 window. I can\u2019t rule that out. I don\u2019t mean at all to be alarmist by saying that.
