>Taiwan’s story is the mirror image. Twenty-three million people built a
world-class economy and a resilient democracy by pairing technological
excellence with open debate and free exchange. >Subordinating that success to
the dictates of an authoritarian system holds no appeal, especially after the

marketed to Taiwan. If Beijing wouldn’t keep that promise for Hong Kong, why
would it honor it for Taiwan? >Taiwan sits at the center of global semiconductor
production. Moving it into Beijing’s orbit would concentrate, not diversify,
risk, placing the world’s most advanced chips and manufacturing know-how under
the political leverage of an authoritarian state.
