Would it? Damaging, yes. Suicide, no.
Taiwan on the other hand would be economically wiped out in the first hours of the war. The Wets would be more hurt by the destruyction of Taiwan, than China. Because we still depend so heavily on Taiwanese CPU production.
I never was a friend of this globalization madness. Its shortsighted, and stupid, and maximises own vulnerabilities and dependencies.

autarky is the lesson the West has to learn from the past 20 years. Stopping to make one's future enemies strong.
Lets have a reality check. Merkel in Germany, the still storngest economy of the eU block, rejected reality when leaving nuclear power behind, rejected sens eof realism when channeöling the bioggest mass moivement of known history to Europea nd Germany, and again rejected reality when delaying vaccine shopping for the sake of some higher superidealiustic stupdid reasoning meant to push more powers to the EU. On the other side of the Atlantic there was the recent four years opf attempting to challenge China, and all these challenges, like the sanctionizing of Russia before, led to Bejing changin its political priorities so to boost independence from Wetsern material high tech supplies in the coming years - which will, once they are done,m means China will be stronger than before. In parts it already shows.
No, I am not optimistic that the West will learn autoarky. It instead will carry on to propagate global group psychotherapy with a lot of babbling.
