If both those are true, then shouldn't we expect China to destroy them as part of first offensive?

Why would China care if Taiwan blows up its fabs?
The talent is still there, so they could rebuild, or recruit the talent to work for Chinese mainland fabs instead?

its not official public policy, but there have been people in the US government saying that if there is a war then the US will bomb tsmc facilities in taiwan
