It would hurt everyone except ASML and other fab equipment suppliers. It would take at least a decade to rebuild what was lost in other places, and get the electronics industry back on track.

Supposedly they are busy expanding, ensuring the expansion is not concentrated in a SPOF. Completely replacing much of what currently exists would be a big expansion for people like ASML.

China's ports are surrounded by a stream of islands with shallow waters in between in which subs can be spotted easily. US bases are there to keep China military in this geo-clench denying them of access to planetary ocean. Semiconductors are just another reason.

Semiconductors are just another "minor" reason.
