We just had this same story yesterday.

'ASML and TSMC Can Disable Chip Machines If China Invades Taiwan'

Besides, who really cares? China isn't going to invade taiwan for silly companies like TSMC. If it invaded, it would be to take back their territory. What's with the constant artificial media blitz regarding tsmc? China's aim for reunification dates back decades before tsmc existed. Also, it would be nice if 'news' companies stated who ( public or private ) is sponsoring their articles.

Taiwan is not now, has never been, and will likely never be a part of the People's Republic of China.

What's your definition of 'likely'? That taiwan will be a part of the mainland is pretty much a certainty. It's demography, geography and economy. One has 1.5 billion people and the other is 20 million people.
