It's only American exceptionalism if it's put in terms of americans. As I specifically stated I think any country can do this. There's nothing special about Taiwan in this instance other than it already exists there. It used to exist in the US and Russia as well. It will again. Taiwan thinking it can, or that it's good to maintain a monopoly. Is silly.

And again if Taiwan thinks that that's going to save them. Which is a foolish thing to think. (China only wants them literally because they currently have a near Monopoly on manufacture. Diluting that Monopoly would actually make them safer) They're going to be sorely disappointed. If China moved tonight. Not a single military unit would be dispatched to attack internationally. The US wastes the most money of any country on military and military equipment. But they aren't going to deploy. China is threatening everyone around them with impunity. And the US/EU can't threaten much more than hollow product boycotts. Because they've all handed over their nuts on a platter to exploit near slave labor in Xi's authoritarian wonderland.

The best way to neuter Xi is for everyone to take back as much of China's manufacturing as possible. And not concentrate it in the hands of an authoritarian dictator for a few bucks extra.
