If China can make their own advanced chips they have no reason to hold back against Taiwan.

If they are forced to make their own chips, that means they have to focus on that instead of other technologies…is an argument I’ve heard that has some merit.

China imports 70% of their chips and 90% of their most advanced chips from Taiwan, it's called the silicon shield. China makes 16% of their chips domestically.

As long as China is dependent on Taiwan for chip manufacturing they cannot invade.

This is why China achieving chip self-reliance is such a scary prospect, the US will defend Taiwan militarily because they are also reliant on them for their chips.
