If China takes over Taiwan, what happens to silicon chips?

For sure. Yet I'm not convinced America can take that too far. So I wonder if it is willing/wanting to lose the Silicon factories, and cause a giant technological reset

China would be at a massive disadvantage if it won Taiwan and lost the chip factories. That really would be a massive cold war, then.

Considering how important Taiwan's fabs are to the US it seems unlikely the US would turn a blind eye to the attack, and an escalation like that would signal further threats to Korea, Japan, and Australia.
