“So people in Taiwan have no say in what happens to them?”
Obviously not. That’s the whole point. They are pawns. You think TSMC refuses to sell chips to China voluntary? I actually have no idea what the people of Taiwan want. But I know it doesn’t matter. They do what we (the US) want… for now.

Even Now, shouldn't the US have a say when it provides critical inputs? Why should US allow its high-end designs to be used by an adversary?
