As I understand it, Taiwan is home to TSMC and UMC, two of the largest silicon chip foundries in the world. If China were to take over Taiwan, they would then control a large part of the integrated circuit production of the world. All of the "fabless" companies would be having to have their latest and greatest circuit technology fabbed by the ChiComs. This is not a good scenario IMHO.

The taiwanese would destroy the factories rather than let it fall into Chinese hands. That is unless they are filled with folks like Taiwan semi who believe that the Commie leadership is good and that democracy is 'messy'
