60% of the world's semiconductor fab capacity is in Taiwan. A Chinese state economist recently said that if China is ever subject to sanctions like Russia they should invade Taiwan immediately to secure the chip facilities.
They might be a bit late though because last year a US defence paper advised Taiwan to install 'measures' to destroy their fabs in the event of an invasion.
(Last week Taiwan banned the sale to Russia of any semiconductors over 25MHz)
