Don't worry, there are plenty of doublethink practitioners who believes that Russia blew up Nord Stream, pipelines that supplies Russian gas to Germany that Russia already turned off the tap at the source.

Look at the incentives and consequences of blowing up TSMC if China uses the military. China would not have access to the high end chips; Taiwan loses a bargaining chip of its own, and would suffer a huge economic cost (a lot of electricity is used up by TSMC alone); and US is the one who gets to point at the big bad PRC throwing weapons at ROC, and know that PRC gets a road block on the semiconductor front.
