This is a big move, especially as I haven't heard of anything uber
being sold to Taiwan. If it were Arleigh Burkes, F-22s, or High-End
AIP Submarines, maybe, but this is China pushing hard on, well, not
much.

If China is looking to scramble the US economy this could be part of
the reason. Though a war of sanctions would probably hurt China worse
than the US. Google seems ready to pull out of China over Chinese
gov't interference already and not be the worse for wear over it.
