TSMC has multiple fabs outside of Taiwan. It would be a setback but 10+ years seems to be misinformed. Also there would likely be more effort to restore the semi supply chain than post covid. (I could see the military try being mobilized to help or the Defense Production Act being used)
Last time I looked the most advanced ones were in Taiwan? Also if China invades Taiwan then expect to see Korea/​Japan shipping trade and economies massively disrupted also. How long do you think it will take to build a new world leading factory from scratch in the USA now?
