Yeah, but I imagine in such a scenario most of the talent that built that world-class semiconductor manufacturing would be resettled to Western Powers - most likely the United States.

China will invade Taiwan, seize their IP, and then approve exit visas for the best scientists/engineers from the conquered country? Seems pretty unlikely.

Having the knowhow to build the fabs, and having the fabs, are two different things. Intel has been struggling for a while with their fabs.

When your country becomes a warzone and your workplace becomes a pile of rubble, other countries start to look a lot more attractive. If China tried to take Taiwan, I could see them losing a lot of the brains that built those fabs.

Yep, it's not exactly easy for people in Hong Kong to leave. Some have even been imprisoned trying to flee to Taiwan.
