If TSMC were to simply disappear, it would be a great day for Samsung/Intel but a godawful catastrophe for most HPC applications and consumer hardware. People aren't afraid of a fab takeover, they're afraid of TSMC disappearing altogether.
It's the point of my question, I don't see how TSMC could not disappear if Taiwan becomes part of China.
