“In an authoritarian state, rights derive from the state and are granted to the people. In a free state, rights derive from the people and are granted to the state. In the former, people are subjects, who are only allowed to own property, pursue an education, work, pray, and speak because their government permits them to.
In the latter, people are citizens who agree to be governed in a covenant of consent that must be periodically renewed and is constitutionally revocable. It’s this class, between the authoritarian and the liberal democratic, that I believe to be the major ideological conflict of my time—not some concocted, prejudiced notion of an East-West divide, or of a resurrected crusade against Christendom or Islam” -nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9, Permanent Record
Yes, because it is more of a statement of strength and also because they have always said they felt Taiwan is part of China.
On top of the fact that if the factory did get destroyed you know China would send a million engineers and construction workers there to fix it in no time. Something that would take the US over a decade and even then it would probably only run at 70 capacity once it was built.
The irony if China wanted to take Taiwan for their semiconductor factory only for it to be destroyed by an earthquake
