Just saw new chip plant being built in north Phoenix. Largest construction project in US. Taiwan chip maker building new facility over next ten years. First chip due end of 2023. 16 huge buildings will be built with 15,000 employees. Construction is using 20,000 workers. This is to move military production chips away from Taiwan. For reference one crane is the largest in the world.
If China invades Taiwan, that will immediately halt importation of about 90% of computer parts to all countries. 90% is my own estimation from working within the industry. Medium and large businesses replace parts and whole systems every day, so an invasion would eventually lock up the global economy.
