You mentioned Apple, Intel, and Google and having factories in China, set up by Foxconn. That is untrue. Foxconn produces the chips used in other companies' products. Foxconn has factories worldwide and not just in China.Incorrect about what, exactly?China has too much to lose by invading Taiwan.
Firstly, the Mega Billion Corporations would face a global boycott. China wants to become a global leader. An unprovoked attack on Taiwan will not allow that.
Secondly, Taiwan is prepared for an invasion. China would suffer tremendous losses
If they were to invade Taiwan, the political fallout would cripple their economy.
Even without actual sanctions, most foreign companies would withdraw their business dealings with the country. Not to mention that a lot of those dealings go through Taiwan as the middleman.
For example, one of the biggest is Foxconn. Apple, Intel, Google, almost everybody works through Foxconn when setting up agreements and factories in China. And Foxconn is a Taiwanese company. So even if say Apple decided to continue to do business with China, how? 90% of their stuff there is made in Foxconn factories. And Foxconn are going to shut down immediately all dealings with the CCCP.
Most people seem to not realize that if the International Tech Companies all pull out, China is left with a huge workforce, and no customers. The world is not exactly beating down the door to buy Chinese electronics, cars, aircraft, or much of anything else they made. They only manufacture it on contract for others.
I think you need to do a little research on Foxconn. I don't think your information is anywhere near correct. Yes, they have factories in mainland China, but the rest of your information is grossly incorrect.
That they are not a major electronics company, based out of Taiwan? That they have extensive manufacturing plants in China? That if China invaded, they would not promptly pull out of all of their factories?
Be specific, don't just say I am wrong, and not say how.
Oh nonsense.
They are one of the leading motherboard manufacturers in the world. Probably only behind Asus for reliability and stability. Others like Giga might beat them for things like top speed, but the big companies (especially HP) use them because they value stability over an extra 3% of efficiency.
Foxconn for years has been making front to back solutions, specifically the motherboards used in a great many things from phones to computers to automotive GPS solutions. You just often will not know it, because their items made for others rarely have their branding obvious on them. Having been a computer tech for years, I long ago had to learn what to look for. And the "Foxconn heatsink" was for years a giveaway if they had made the board. It may have another name on it (or none), but that sink was made by them, and was a giveaway that they made the board itself.
Case in point, a hugely popular motherboard a decade or so ago, used by both Compaq and HP. Ask most people who made it, they will say one of those two companies, because the only thing on it that says manufacturer is a sticker with one of their internal part numbers. But to an expert like me, I only need a second to know who made it.
That is an obvious Asus board, even though it will have that name nowhere on it. It is the font used for the "M2N68-LA". That font is specific to only Asus, and nobody else uses it.
And I do not think I really mentioned Google at all. Of course, I also know that like Microsoft, Google actually "makes" very little hardware. Google is still primarily an Internet and Software company, and what little is made with their name on it is half made by and for another under license, or they contract it out. I think you are confusing things here.
