TW banned their semi engineerings from working in PRC this year. Economically taking over TW short/medium term would basically be placing similar tech sanctions on US/west since TW has some sole source semi inputs for leading edge semi production. Depending on how long it takes western semi to replicate, it evens semi playing field.

Also, Taiwan doesn't get great control over where their citizens work...they can't really stop someone from going to the PRC to work (although they can sanction them if they return, dual citizenship with the USA makes even this tricky).
