Good luck Taiwan! There won't be any US support for you unfortunately

No, I think they're the one coming up a bit short on wrinkles.

Or else me and you are both failing at reading comprehension today.

If not, then wave buy buy to pretty much all modern computer chips for years to come. Devastating global supply chain disruptions.

When has China restricted countries from technology that wasn’t in retaliation to western restrictions on them?

Taiwan's National Security Bureau says that without their supply chain of advanced machinery and parts as well as ultra-pure raw materials, the factories won't be able to do much for long at current tech levels and will quickly fall behind the leading edge. And both the US and Taiwan have plans to scuttle the plants if they see the need anyway.
