Those plants will 100% be destroyed/disabled in the event of an invasion.

Those plants depend on a lot of imports for spare parts and raw materials, even if China took them over tomorrow somehow intact with with the people to operate them, they would be out of commission in a month or so.

Even if that is possible (unlikely), it will be a big blow to American power because Taiwan produces the best of semiconductor technology.
