They don't care about damaging things now.

Almost all of TSMC's output is now powering US' Stargate AI project. They also have their own fabs, they have equivalent to TSMC fabs (from stolen TSMC research) in larger numbers - the only reason we don't see it flooding the market here in the west is that TSMC got injunctions against all the Chinese fabs selling 7nm and smaller chips.

If TSMC is gone and Intel+Samsung can't keep up, then those injunctions are going to disappear pretty quickly to keep the economy rolling.

TSMC is no longer a card Taiwan holds, largely due to corporate greed.

Conquering Taiwan is more about pride and ego then any material gain, though the Island has strong maritime strategic value.

Was just about to say the same.

Authoritarian state-capitalism is not a leftist ideology.

What do you mean? 99.99% of the chinese people are charing 0.000001% of their countrie's wealth like true communists.

Could you please provide us with some data regarding wealth inequality between citizens and politicians in China vs, say, the USA for comparison?

Yeah, and no wonder why hardline Maoists hate Mainland China for what it is now, completely deviant from Maoism and becoming the very enemy they tried to destroy.

China is a socialist country, and a developing country as well. China belongs to the Third World. Consistently following Chairman Mao’s teachings, the Chinese Government and people firmly support all oppressed peoples and oppressed nations in their struggle to win or defend national independence, develop the national economy and oppose colonialism, imperialism and hegemonism. This is our bounden internationalist duty. China is not a superpower, nor will she ever seek to be one.

What is a superpower? A superpower is an imperialist country which everywhere subjects other countries to its aggression, interference, control, subversion or plunder and strives for world hegemony. If capitalism is restored in a big socialist country, it will inevitably become a superpower. The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which has been carried out in China in recent years, and the campaign of criticizing Lin Piao and Confucius now under way throughout China, are both aimed at preventing capitalist restoration and ensuring that socialist China will never change her colour and will always stand by the oppressed peoples and oppressed nations.

If one day China should change her colour and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialism, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it.

Also, fuck the 996 System.

Japan has openly vowed to defend Taiwan if China invades.

They literally moved to the Island of Formosa to escape it

The full expression is "all models are wrong, but some are useful"

So it's never left unless things work perfectly fine? It's always fake left? China's government control of the economy is very very lefty.

I'm left myself, but this easy escape by some left people really annoys me. Things can only improve if one acknowledges the mistakes and flaws.
