" Australia stands at great risk of being invaded. Taiwan is important, but this discussion is about Australia." Well, I disagree, completely. Unless china overruns taiwain "virgo intacta " ( semiconductor industry,in tact) , there's no point moving forward, IMO. Clearly, you missed, my analogy,with oil and semiconductors. Just as the middle east,was important,because of oil,in ww 2,so is taiwan, with semiconductors, only more so, now. Yes,Oz has natural resources,but what taiwan, churns out,with its semiconductors, is more important, in world economics,than our natural resources.
