#2I would imagine that one of the biggest concerns associated with China taking over Taiwan is that China would gain control over some of the most significant semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the world.

Yeah, but I imagine in such a scenario most of the talent that built that world-class semiconductor manufacturing would be resettled to Western Powers - most likely the United States.

#4If China takes Taiwan, that would shift the balance of power due to Taiwan's role as the leading global chip fabricator.
The most recent episode of the podcast ChinaTalk, "China's Chip Dreams", dated March 26, 2021, is relevant.

Someone mentioned in an earlier discussion here without sources that the TSMC is rigged to blow in case of such an event.

#7If you're to follow local media in China, the rhetoric around taking back Taiwan has grown stronger. Winnie the pooh also got a time limit extension on CCP leadership on the platform of a fully unified China. The signs are all there, though I just don't see how anything resembling a conventional warfare can happen there. The potential lives at risk are quite high and if the toll is that high it will be difficult to stop other countries from getting involved on various grounds. Also it's not like Crimea annexation where the aggressor had local support.

Having the knowhow to build the fabs, and having the fabs, are two different things. Intel has been struggling for a while with their fabs.

#10As even the non-war (well, war on the pandemic) issues have shown is an issue across multiple industries.
This is an implicit issue highlighted by in-sourcing or physically closer ally production in the report from a month or two ago. https://www.nscai.gov/2021-final-report/
