About 60% of all microchips and more than 90% of the more advanced types are made in Taiwan, largely by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Australia's stance is that Taiwan isnot a sovereign state. Yangmingshan National Park has volcanic geology, hot springs, waterfalls, and forest. These zones are generally much larger than a country's boundaries. China has warned against continued U.S.-Taiwan cooperation, responding to reports that the U.S. military is sending officers to help train Taiwans counterparts and that a delegation of defense contractors would visiting the self-ruled island next week.

The aggressive patrolling and overflights of Taiwanese airspace by aircraft from the Chinese air force have added a sense of urgency that this could very well happen in the near future.
