Theoretically; something similar to what happened to the Cuban cigar producers after the revolution. They spin off into their own company/companies no longer recognizing the “invalidated” company charter.

But, realistically, China will press their global influence to keep them under Sino-TSMC’s control under a new Chinese corporate charter.

It will depend heavily on the amount of global sway China has at that point. I imagine the countries TSMC builds the fabs in would vastly prefer to use the invasion as an excuse to say the fabs belong under the control of a entity without connections to China.
