The average citizen probably isnt informed enough to know how critical taiwanese manufacturing is to nearly all Western electronics, but I doubt that level of strategic importance is lost to the politicians who will be making the decision.

The thing is that semi fab are extremely fragile. For example, there was a Samsung memory fab where a few minutes of electricity black out killed months of production.

Basically it is impossible to protect Taiwan's fab. Those fab, by being the best in the world, are actually Taiwan's best line of defense. As soon as they lose this advantage, they are doomed.
