True. But then such things tend to reach an equilibrium. If the ChiComs take Taiwan, they will dominate the microchip industry. But then other factories will spring up elsewhere.

The problem will be the lag time. It could be significant. So, yes. Your concern is warranted.

If the Commies actually take Taiwan, then all those factories will likely be setting off the demo charges. And if not, you can bet someone else will take them out before letting Red China hold them!
