This time Taiwan is a vulnerability for US that the US would rather not have, but it's still a vulnerability. If China suddenly takes Taiwan, the US may be forced into war or see massive infrastructure and economic disruption.

I suppose a major economic disruption is inevitable in any hot war scenario, at the very least because TSMC is going to be destroyed in this case, by the Taiwanese themselves, or their allies.

To say nothing of not buying the inexpensive goods made in China anymore.
