Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping should postpone any invasion of Taiwan until after the United States achieves “semiconductor independence” by 2028, according to Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
“I’m being very clear: Xi Jinping should not mess with Taiwan until we have achieved semiconductor independence, until the end of my first term when I will lead us there,” Ramaswamy said Monday."And after that, our commitments to Taiwan, our commitments to be willing to go to military conflict, will change after that, because that’s rationally in our self-interest.
“That’s how I plan to end the Ukraine war — do a deal that yes, does give Putin concessions, but in return for requiring Vladimir Putin to exit his military partnership with China,” Ramaswamy said. “With respect to Ukraine in particular, I think that we are actually driving Russia further into China’s arms ... I’m disappointed, I have to say, that nobody in either major party is really talking about it.
Ramaswamy began to move to wrap up the interview after Hewitt mentioned they had scheduled an hour together. “I thought we were going for half an hour. So we’re actually well over my time here,” he said. “But I would like to continue this.”
