>At the moment USA still has the possibility to contain IC ecosystem if it really wants to do that

It's been doing that nonstop since before Trump, Trump is merely broadcasting the actions publicly. Apart from Fujian Jinhua last year, CFUIUS / DOD / USTrade has blocked many Chinese IC acquisition attempts (including EU owned), last month US pressured TMSC to stop dealing with Huawei, ASML held back EUV delivery shortly after. The way things are escalating, the hypothetical shooting war over Taiwan might be triggered by TSMC drama instead of independence.
