You're describing technology transfer from the US to Taiwan. Which is absolutely true and happened. But the literal fact that the US can't build what Taiwan builds shows it's currently a literal transfer in the Other direction.

What I don't understand, is how thr initial US transfer to Taiwan negates the technology transfer I'm describing here? It doesn't.

I think you lack objectivity. Your American pride is getting in the way. Same with the downvoters I guess.

My comment has nothing to do with whether or not Taiwan or the US deserves or does not deserve to be a participant or victim in this "technology transfer" it's just a statement about reality.
