High-Tech Firms Worry About Taiwan-China Tensions

Posted by timothy on from the with-good-reason dept.

Andy Tai writes "This San Jose Mercury News story shows high tech companies in the Silicon Valley worry about a possible war between mainland China and Taiwan. Both play important roles in the computer industry and the U.S. depends on both to finance the federal budget deficits. Many businessmen hope that economic considerations will prevent both sides from marching down a self-destructive path."

    Aside from the fact that China doesn't give a fuck about economic concerns, there isn't much chance of a war happening.

    As unlikely as more people looking to China than the U.S. for hopes for a better future.
