Why don't we make our own chips? We can use the potatoes from Idaho.
- That's about the only kind of chips US can make at this point. 🤣
If by China, you mean Taiwan, sure.
- Taiwan is a province of China. This is a well documented fact, and Taiwan's legal standing is not in question. This is the position held by the UN as well as practically all the countries in the world. This is also the fundamental basis for having diplomatic relations between US and China per Potsdam Proclamation that was signed 77 years ago between China, the US & the UK. This position has never officially changed. You can also read about it on the US state department site:
  The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.
  That seems pretty clear cut to me.
  
  Dang, you had all that ready to go as soon as someone mentioned Taiwan?
  
  Sorry. I should have said Republic of China.
  
  Sure, and that "policy" keeps China happy while we continue to treat Taiwan as its own country.
  The US doesn't care about China's little turf war as long as we get to trade with both.
Saved you a click: it's computer chips, not potato chips.
Red Doritos aren't half as good as blue. I think we could quit the red chips.
- Oh and potato chips? Forget about it. Dill pickle, salt and vinegar, ketchup... We can't be expected to go on without ketchup chips. Looks like big red has got us this time boys. 😋
- I think Doritos are the worst chips i ever eaten, even the cheapest shit from local market tastes way better.
lol @ reddit trolls downvoting news on world news 😂
You changed the headline of this one also? What is your deal man? Just here to stir shit up?
- Why would you lie about something like this?
  
  just block and flag the trash, like i do
- It still says One Reason the U.S. Can’t Quit China? Chips. on the non-archived version..
