What is the problem with an Intel design manufactured in a TSMC fab built on US soil? There will be fabs on US soil in the future but they might not be owned by Intel.

It probably depends on whether the chip is a commodity chip or something special

If China invades Taiwan, the rumor is that Taiwan's strategy is to scuttle everything at the last second so China isn't additionally incentivized to invade just to get the electronics manufacturing infrastructure.

So there won't be any electronics manufacturing to ban at all, but it leaves the US in the same place.
