>Doesn't seem much of a threat to TSMC.

That's where you are wrong, TSMC is just the producer, but many many more Company are behind it like:

https://www.asml.com/en (Probably the most important Corp in the industry...but no one knows)

http://www.appliedmaterials.com/

https://www.comet-group.com/

And many more, without those chains TSMC could do just nothing.

EDIT: Oh man i forgot Lam Research!!

And the US 'forbid' asml to sell the technology to china, that means quite allot:
