Let's just hope China will not take back Taiwan to get the state-of-the-art fabs there.

I think we would have bigger things than fabs to worry about if China decided to take over Taiwan

Even a nuclear war will be by far a less ruinous event to the civilisation as a whole, than destruction of 10 biggest fab complexes.

I wonder if the Taiwanese or the US has a plan for destroying those and similar advanced facilities to keep the technology out of the hands of the Chinese after an invasion? It might disincentivize the Chinese a bit, though I'm sure the nationalistic motivations would override any practical concerns.
