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.
