Yes, the media is crying wolf and also saying it won't happen, similar situation as around Ukraine/Russia, and similar to any other type of conflict in the world. Media organizations thrive on stirring the pot, and will always have scary headlines, especially when there is even a hint of anything approaching a conflict. I'm currently in Europe but live in different places in the world during the year, what about you?

> Is your claim that Taiwan won't be next and it's someone else who is next? Taiwan is second?

I believe that things are uncertain right now, and claiming that you know or that everyone "expects" something to happen to be an exaggeration. Linking a bunch of online newspapers with names like "warblog", "militarytimes" or articles about how Australia now has a deal with the US about nuclear arms, doesn't exactly improve your case. Most newspapers just wants views like everyone else, and they'll write news that makes you click on the headline. It takes careful consideration and weighing different sides of a story to see what's going on.

> Or is your do you believe all these governments are spreading propaganda?

Yes, every government on the planet does this. Some are more obvious, some are less. Some do it for betterment, some do it for personal gain. But what's clear in every single government on Earth, is that they participate in propaganda.

> I suspect you're not asking for me to prove APT groups are chinese?

I'm asking you to provide evidence for these two claims:

> Taiwan is expected to fall next.

> lots of fabs catching fire or being hacked and shutdown

You're saying fabs are being put on fire and/or being hacked by foreign entities, while still not providing any evidence for that happening in practice, essentially spreading conspiracy theories. The statement from akm says "there is no clear prospect for identification of the cause of the fire or for restoration of operation of the plant" and the Reuters article makes no claims regarding the cause of the fire.

> Multiple fires hitting non-chinese chip fabs? Just a coincidence... nothing to do with the ongoing war...

It could be related, it could not. Without any sort of evidence-based approach, you have about 0% chance at arriving at the correct conclusion. And while you don't have a clue what's going on, it's better not to spread theories that are not based on facts but instead boils down to "So you think this is just a coincidence huh?!".
