China is boxed in by US backed islands from Korea (a de facto island) to the Philippines. Having a guaranteed gap out into open water from the mainland is worth more to a major power than the chip manufacturing. It's the same conflict that Turkey is having with Greece, where one nation is boxed in by another.
