well for one, it would take probably 10 or 20 years to get to that point in chinas domestic manufacturing. As well as geopolitical situation.

They would have very little reason to invade taiwan at that point. So they probably wouldn't.

And to foil your plan a little bit, the US has spent billions of dollars in recent years constructing new TSMC and i believe intel fabs in america, there's a big one in arizona. And idk where the other one is off the top of my head. But we're already chinas biggest competition in that regard.

Not about actually needing a reason to invade, it's about the implication

i guess but even then it would still have massive political implications, including the US, which is incredibly messy. And taiwan itself wouldn't be very happy about it.

Extrinsic factors are the most important ones for this kind of stuff, it's why the vietnam war failed for us.
