Let me rephrase this:

If China takes over Taiwan, how soon can USA build a united force with Japan, Australia, South Korea, probably British, India etc to take it back, like what occurred in Kuwart?

This might set all of us back 2 decades but other options will be worse?

A world war would be better than a disruption in the newest generation of chip production?

Twenty minutes, if I'm allowed some hyperbole. China has been trying to throw their weight around with Australia and none of China's neighbors would be happy with them turning expansionist.

I guess they are building it now. On top of having a second factory in other places. Slowly though.

A war involving 4 nuclear powers. What could go wrong?

China has nukes. So do the United States, Britain, and India.

None of the leaders of the listed nations want to die in a nuclear holocaust.

So no, your "united force" will never happen.

When everyone has nukes, the only possibility is none will be using it, or dare to. It's the least of worries.

The new thing might be lots of drones with bombs though.
