Original Note:
Starlink is not operational in Taiwan due to regulatory issues rather than direct influence from China. Taiwan requires that any joint venture in satellite services have a local entity holding at least a 51% stake, which conflicts with SpaceX's business model. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/15/taiwan-to-have-satellite-internet-service-as-protection-in-case-of-chinese-attack
