Aside from tech related chips, does anyone else have a good idea of what shortages we might see if China decides to go hot with Taiwan? They have been making some more direct threats lately.

Hopefully excuses to sit on our hands and wait for others to set this shit straight.
It’s been released that her trip to Taiwan is not on the flight plan anymore.
Shocker, we caved to China again.
And she’ll go do whatever crooked shit she’s planning

Looks like she will have to take that Taiwan flag off her Top Gun G3 goatskin.
Maybe they will replace it with a Citgo sign.
Taiwan Exports

Fortune Cookies , Egg Rolls and the little umbrellas for the drinks.
Plastics and rubber are the ones that people underestimate, plastic films especially.
They will have to cut condom sizes in half but most of you guys won’t notice……….
Fucks.
There will be a severe shortages of fucks given, by our government, if Taiwan is attacked by China.

I think this will happen relatively soon in any case, this is what China has wanted for as long as I can remember, the dimwits trip is just a excuse. I’m sure it’s not lost on China that they will never have a weaker US president again, and their economic alignment with Russia isn’t a accident.

The USA has chip makers,,Global
Foundries,,Micro Tech,, work for Applied Material. There are others in the US we supply.

We could seize all Chinese bank accounts and property owned by any Chinese entity.
Cut our debt by 50%
Hunter would no longer be able to afford 24/7 hookers and blow, but it's a cost I'm willing to accept.

Taiwans top ten exports. 
China gets aggressive. Blockade oil and gas shipments coming out of the Persian Gulf is about the biggest bit of potential leverage we have over China.
Graphs are a bit dated but it makes the point. It also highlights how stupid the sanctions on Russian fuel in Europe is as it pushes China in a position to buy what the Europeans are not. It also highlights why having good relationships in the region( middle east) are extremely important.
Every thing Biden has done policy related has strengthened Chinas access to energy, which is their Achilles’ heel.
Pelosi should have flown to Taiwan. Trump had the balls to cross the 58th parallel into North Korea!!! Dems are a bunch of punk bitches...why are we letting them lead? Cowards!

It won't only be goods from Taiwan that will be on the list. Our government will pull the same shit as when Russia invaded Ukraine.
WTF will WalMart and Harbor Freight do then?

Considering the number of knots that will need to be untied as both sides rush to unwind their stances on the Ukraine invasion (which itself was a reversal of prior stances), everyone will need to be patient as polls are conducted, donors are constituted, and speeches are carefully crafted.
Meh, they just lie there asses off with little care if we believe or not.
Then, we need to go take back the Panama Canal.
I quit buying those years ago. They were already small back then...
Computer parts in general is what would worry me. We have fabs in the US, but not nearly enough to meet demand.
It will be like the current situation... The answer is to reduce demand. Maybe even build a car in the image of the '57 Chevy that needs no chips.
If it goes hot what’s to prevent China from cutting off critical components from both China and Taiwan that are going to the US?
Just one more reason for the US to be self sustaining. Not the plan of the career politicians (both parties)... Get politics out of commerce.
This shortage affects the ladies the most and oddly enough the 6.5 members ....... Ben Wa Balls
Serious question: what are those things even supposed to accomplish other than lowering your bank account? I have seen them but just don’t get it.
You stick them in ones vagina for excise and sex.
The kids of Chinese leadership are in the US. All over the place and many will not leave.
But back to the OP. Most components for computers and phones are made in Taiwan. And the software for the same. Lead times today are months. If there is an invasion of Taiwan then things like switches and laptops won’t be available period for a year.
More difficult will be the strikes on the US and US allies in the Far East. China has unconventional forces in the West just like Russia used to as well. This will lead to Massive disruption of all global supply chains and panic here at home.

One of my biggest concerns is how compromised our national leadership is by China. Many if these potential problems are surmountable, but I doubt our leadership will want to overcome them.
There will be a shortage of bullshit and drama from my wife's side of the family because they won't be calling.
At least there's that.

Who wants to adjust points every few miles?
What we have now is so much more reliable. It would be nice if they had started building more US based fabs about 15 years ago though.
I never adjusted points that often. In fact, I adjusted points much less often than charging a EV battery.
The GM LS series is far more reliable than that old shit. My best guess is that the electronics would stand a decent chance of surviving an EMP, and the mechanical bits last just about forever.
AC Delco used to run a chip fab in Kokomo, and the ECMs/PCMs in GM vehicles from the '80s and '90s were filled with US-sourced components from other companies such as Motorola and Intel (no shit - the original PCM in my '96 Impala had Intel Flash chips).
The biggest problem with chip making is there are almost zero plants making silicon wafers in the US anymore. No wafers, no chips. I've been involved with that industry almost 40 years, 99% of the wafer making has gone off shore...Taiwan, Singapore, Malayasia. And China of course...
Just one more component leading to the downfall of America... America has become so clean and so lazy that now, we are dependent on other countries. Asian's send their children to America to study and learn how we created the newest "Roman Enpire".
There are at least 4 companies building fabs in the US, right now. The largest will also be the largest in the world...
Computer chips have created the laziest society in the history of mankind.
Sold, in the beginning as a "time saver". Look at what American's have filled that spare time doing. Being entertained. sitting on their ass and eating food prepared by other's.
Obesity used to not be a problem.
China and Taiwan do not have fortune cookies and never ever had them. That's a US invention and they are made here.

But do you really want to go back to that standard of living?
Really?
Is that the life you want for your children to look like that?
Even the "super poor" have it much better today.
Instead of trying to devolve, how about using technology to evolve and figure out how to move to the next step as a species?
Well I never thought China would attack Taiwan as long as we are paying for my FIL expenses. He's 73 and immunocompromised and just got Covid. He is in the hospital and family members cannot see him. They have passed onto us that the doctors say he doesn't look good. That said as long as we are paying for his ass he won't fucking die, been there twice and he's made both times, and therefor China will not attack Taiwan.
The actual shortages driven by not getting things from Taiwan will not be the problem. The US government is waiting patiently for the fireworks to start so it can blame its draconian unpalatable great reset initiatives on the “war with China”. The Ukrainian thing has turned out to be a nothing burger other than a financial windfall for a few people and arms suppliers. Serbia and Kosovo are about to go kinetic, and I think even the deep state crew want to avoid that toxic mess of brutality and death. No winning there, too much psycho shit from centuries of hate.
