From an American POV: who cares? The country's citizens have terrible health care, no real safety net, rising inflation forcing people to eat more and more processed junk, half the population has collapsed (negative growth, drugged up with painkillers etc.) and a cause of this is spending a notable chunk of the national budget on the military which defends places like Taiwan instead of solutions that improve the problems above. If America says "JUMP" TSMC says how high.
