I disagree simply because China has already signaled they wanted to move against Taiwan during previous, stronger US administrations. It would be strange for them not to seize the opportunity now, when the US is at one of its weakest times in history.

China having a monopoly on the US's main source of silicon is powerful leverage against even the billionaires.
