The chinese leadership/official position is that Taiwan is part of China. They don't want to invade and retake it because they want TSMC's chips, they want to retake it because they think it's a rebellious province that needs to be brought to heel.

The best metaphor I have heard that sums this up was that if this were a Go game, Taiwan is a Ko fight between China and US.
