From a strategic asset perspective, the "gold" of fab and diffusion shops are in software and equipment configuration. It would be better to exfil and sabotage crucial equipment to retain the power to either return, exchange, or destroy it rather than irreversibly blow it up. It'd be a whole lot more geopolitically "acceptable" too than making bad press of one colonial power or another victimizing tiny Taiwan.
