No horse in the race on either side here but just to answer the devil's advocate: it's pretty easy to imagine a future where China could establish a trade blockade of Taiwan, putting the US in the position of "potentially start a war, or go without Taiwanese goods" -- that's like the diplomatic equivalent of a Fork[1]. If you depend on it, and you can do it at home, you should. And "but what about ______, then?" (e.g. rare earths, fab machines) does not mean that all other "______" (e.g. chips) should follow suit.
