There is simply no way the west will always rely on fabs so close to mainland China. The US might be able to defend Taiwan from being conquered, but nobody can

There is simply no way the west will always rely on fabs so close to mainland China.
The US might be able to defend Taiwan from being conquered, but nobody can protect the fabs from being shelled.

It's been decades now that we rely on Taiwan, and the estimate give a few more decades to catch up if we start getting real serious about it right now, assuming Taiwan doesn't keep its lead. So yes, eventually things might change. But that won't be tomorrow, or the day after.
