For all of his tough anti-China talk, President Donald Trump sure is doing the Chinese communist party a favor. Not only is he antagonizing all of China's allies and starting trade wars across the globe, but he is now targeting Taiwan. Trump's threat to impose 25-100% tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductors and pharmaceuticals could break the U.S. economy.

Trump, for whatever reason, has decided that it's a problem that the world's most valuable companies—most of which are U.S. tech giants like Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, Tesla, and Meta—don't make their chips in-house.
Furthermore, he froze billions of dollars allocated to help companies like Intel and TSMC do exactly that—build chip foundries in the United States.

Taiwan chip manufacturer TSMC is spending a mind-boggling $65 billion on a chip factory in Arizona, with former President Joe Biden's U.S. CHIPS Act contributing an additional $6.6 billion. That alone informs the massive expense of building plants in the United States—and how the government can expedite such work.

And even fully funded, it takes around 6-8 years to build and staff these foundries. Trump likely thinks new plants can be up and running by summer.

Intel is spending even more money on foundries in Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico, and Oregon, investing more than $100 billion, supplemented by a little under $8 billion in CHIPS Act money. If it must trim its sails, Intel would nix the Ohio factory and teach Vice President JD Vance and his supporters a lesson. But Trump won't care.



He bankrupted a casino. He can surely destroy the job creation under the CHIPS Act. Your stable genius, and successful businessman everybody.

Like the other threats, this is probably just to wring out some concessions.

Or maybe goad manufacturers to return chip fab back to the US. A terrible thing, I know.

Any country wanting to do business with US and favored nation status, need only contact Don Jr, and cut sweetheart deal for a Trump Hotel and golf course.

Like China? Hopefully their most favored nations status will be rescinded. It should have never been granted in the first place with their history of human rights abuses .

Definitely China, but that might take a couple of Hotels and Golf courses. A Chinese Tax exemption might do the trick. I understand the President's company pays more in taxes in China, than in the US.

If it hasn't happened already, it isn't going to. You clearly missed the point. If China loses the "most favored" tag your assertion is moot.

Did you know that China and Taiwan are two different countries?

I guess you've never heard of the CHIPS act.

Looks like trump is working diligently to make this the 'Chinese Century'!

Xi must LOVE Trump!

Putin is getting jealous!

What companies does Trump have in China? I'll wait. You didn't think this out--why would Trump put tariffs on his own companies? Next.

No idea, but he makes a lot of money there.
