Hot take: China will increasingly support (directly or otherwise) development of semiconductor capabilities across the world. This lets them mitigate Taiwan's importance as the only foundry hub and thus fasten their plan to annex the state without much resistance.

china probably will concentrate most resources domestically, e.g. huawei, etc. since it understands perfectly that it's almost THE only way to REALLY strengthen chip related national security, and anything abroad can be easily compromised.

taiwan already lost bargaining chips against china long ago, i.e. if china decides to remove all the economic incentives (just incentives alone, not even has to be any economic sanctions) it has bestowed to taiwan over the past decades, taiwan will collapse in no time

Fair. From what I understand, Huawei already has made quite some progress in building 6nm Chips and maybe they'll soon try and give CPEC nations access to this only to undermine Taiwan as a first step. This is just the first step followed by what you said.

what do you mean by "access"? if by that you mean mass production plants, then i can see the reasonings behind that, but it only makes sense for the core r&d to stay in china closely under the communist party's control, imo
