I've been thinking about it in view of the US doing that whole dance of threat around Taiwan, and I've asked myself, is the US capable of building tanks, subs, planes and missiles without China providing be it raw material or basic manufacturing somewhere along the chain? I'm genuinely curious about that so if someone knows about it or can point me on the right direction I'd be very thankful

That's quite interesting, about the semiconductor impact on the weapon industry, but I wonder about where does the steel, the chemicals and all that stuff, would that work without mainland China, never mind Taiwan
