Fabless design houses contract TSMC to make their wafers. They may also sub out packaging and test. Some us fabs will use TSMC as a spare fab if demand exceeds the capacity of their own fab.
If TSMC goes into communist hands, many of our fabless design houses will have nowhere to make their products and companies with fabs may only be capable of the throughput of their existing fab. Also, China will have their designs, reticules, everything they need to make many of our most advanced devices.
