US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo says if China were to reunify with Taiwan, the US would be devastated due to the ramifications that would hold for the chips market.
That's definitely something I can see US trying. How much they managed to brainwash people in Taiwan is the big question there. I'd also argue that at this point destroying the fabs in Taiwan would likely hurt US more than China. I full expect that China will have bleeding edge fabs on the mainland within a few years, meanwhile US reshoring effort hasn't produced any actual results so far.
