🇺🇸🇨🇳 AI chips allegedly smuggled to China, F-16Vs landing in Taiwan… The U.S.-China rivalry is hitting on TWO fronts at once.

At the same time, Taiwan has received its first two U.S.-made F-16V fighter jets as it bolsters its air defenses. Chips on one side, fighter jets on the other, which one matters more could define the next decade. Writer: Val
