The difference between an oil field and a chip fab is that the equipment is more easily destroyed in a chip fab, vs a hole for an oil well. Not to mention that expertise in human capital required for chip fab is way higher than that of an oil field.
Even a successful invasion of taiwan guarantees either the people important to the fab will leave, and the equipment evacuated, or destroyed if unable to evacuate.
