That's actually good news for Taiwan. TSMC is already very important for everyone. If it becomes the only player in high-end chip making, there is a good chance western countries won't let China invade Taiwan.

Why would China invade Taiwan when it can just buy all of its engineers?

Because China thinks that territory belongs to them, their motivation has nothing to do with TSMC.
