China can't realistically invade TW until it can take on USN 10-15 years from now after more build up / military modernization anyway. Happenstance of TSMC dominance is IMO blessing in this regard, buys PRC 10+ years of military and semi catchup time. There's going to be theatrics and political posturing in the interim by US/CN/TW, but ultimately TSMC buying TW time is buying CN time to close gap with US.
