> China doesn't want Taiwan for the chip making plants, but because they consider its existence to be an ongoing armed rebellion against the "rightful" rulers.
that is what the CCP tells you and its own people.
the truth is taiwan is just the symbol of US presence in western pacific. getting taiwan back means the permanent withdrawal of US influence in the western pacific region and the offical end of US global dominance.
CCP doesn't care the island of taiwan, they care about their historical positioning.

I think that is basically what I said already? What is ensuring historical positioning if not the righting of (perceived) old wrongs?
In any case it's clear that it is not the fabs that China cares about when it is talking about (re)conquering Taiwan.
The USA doesn't want to lose Taiwan because of the chip making plants, and a little bit because it is beneficial to surround their geopolitical enemies with a giant ring of allies.
