First, your phrasing could read as concern trolling style gloating, which you probably didn't intend.

China may invade Taiwan within my lifetime, but it won't be triggered by anything to do with TSMC.

China and the US are both involved in the Taiwan conflict due to history, ideology, and current economic relationships. Nothing material about that changes with TSMC building facilities in the US. If anything US ties grow stronger.

TSMC is not something China can acquire with military power. It's not a building in a RTS game you can just take over and operate yourself. It's a huge number of engineers and a globe spanning high tech supply chain. All that grinds to a halt the moment missiles fly into Taiwan.
