Well I thought was technologically fascinating that they could do this remotely. That was my level of interest more so than China invading Taiwan.
China wouldn't be able to profit anyway however there are some questions if Xi actually understands this or if the echo chamber he has surrounded himself with has convinced him of some sort of successful reunion by force since DPP won in January. That said even if he is under the delusion that he could turn around and run TSMC (they can't for so many reasons beyond the kill switch), apparently Xi thinks he needs to move by 2027 (TSMC probably won't be really deriskified until 2030s though GlobalFoundry has helped fill some of the gap)
I would say that GF isn't the de-risker so much as Samsung. GF pivoted away from leading edge devices and ceded that market to TSMC/Samsung. GF is also competing with the UMC/SMIC types, presumably in the 20-40nm nodes (which to be fair, are probably by volume the largest number of silicon devices shipped at present, but I don't have numbers handy to justify that claim.)
