For people having doubts regarding Taiwan's semiconductor industry, I present you a case in point: Ukraine's grain and other sectors. The only way to stop industry is militarily. Considering the expectation for US to step in and prevent the blockade, I doubt we'll see a full stop, even if disruptions will be felt worldwide. Overall, when thinking about potential war, I think my country is a much better example to rationalize what might happen when compared to situations like ex-Yugoslavia scenario. This isn't meant to say it's not bad here, in Ukraine, because it absolutely is, and some places like Mariupol were hell (up to 100k civilian casualties, I pray for their souls). However, globally speaking, you can extrapolate the events to the capacity of each country to be self-sufficient when it comes to the basics like food, energy and some manufacturing. So yeah, while the war with China would be a terrible development, US has a lot of resiliency and ability to produce everything domestically, even if it means that inefficient companies and bloated bureaucracy will have to go (maybe favor subsidizing STEM degrees over cancelling student debt for people majoring in gender studies?). Keep in mind that complex organizations at some point start to survive not because of the complexity of their procedures but in spite of them. So when crisis happens, provided the organization is resilient enough and adapts through pain, the outcome is not as bad as it seems.
