Ukraine and Taiwan is a bad comparison. Ukraine is unimportant and produces very little of value that can't be sourced from elsewhere. Taiwan is very important for high value semiconductors that are critical for the technology driven service industry and advanced industrial components, i.e. the backbone of the US and other advanced countries economies.
Currently, only three companies produce advanced semiconductors: TSMC (Taiwan), South Korea (Samsung), and the US (Intel). Of these, TSMC is the most advanced and can produce 3 nanometer chips. Next Samsung with 5 nm and last Intel with 10 nm. All Apple and AMD processors for example use TSMC. It would be a terrible blow to the US and all anti-China countries if China were to gain Taiwan.
Ukraine's top 3 exports are seed oils, corn, and wheat.
