There would be a brief, or possibly extended depending on how much damage the fabs took, outage, then it'd be back to business as usual.

Russia weren't able to take Ukraine even when they were able to just drive their tanks right up to Kiyv. Modern warfare tech just favors the defender too much. China has ninety km of sea to cross before they even get to Taiwan. Missiles and drones have already taken out the Russian naval fleet in the Black Sea. China will be losing a lot in the same way if they ever attempt the crossing.
It is public knowledge that the critical equipment has "kill switches".

I wouldn't be surprised if there was enough damage that building a new fab from scratch is easier.

To the people who downvoted my comment: Are you doing that because you know it's not correct or because you really hope and wish it wasn't correct?
