We've gone on just fine for the past 20+ years since we outsource it all to them
Depends how you define "just fine".
Sure our standards of living have improved from lowering the cost of goods created overseas, but we've outsourced all of our manufacturing. Corporations and wealthy raked in massive profits and kept it mostly to themselves.
We took a short term gain (including huge gains for the 1%) for long term pain.

The security concerns is what is driving the Biden administration.
Remember when the imported Maxtor hard drives had malicious firmware installed ?
That was over 10 years ago and no big fluster over that one.
^ what is the difference between diffused and made?
A chip manufacturer creates a silicon wafer with multiple chips on it.
Then, it sends the wafer to cut, test, and package to another factory. This process can cost a lot.
Few Japanese and European companies produce equipment for manufacturing silicon wafers. That's why it's expensive.
Once, the Chinese learn to produce cheaper (much cheaper) equipment, it will change everything.
Thanks for noting that. A person I might know working at a company of some sort that you may have heard of that was in grave financial shape was involved in a technology transfer to China back in 2015. Critical IP. Cutting edge stuff, not licensed just simply transferred for cash and royalties on the back end from sales in China. Said company had to consult with DOD and CIA on the transfer which was then approved by the Obama administration. The week that Trump took office that IP transfer was halted. Not good for said company's bottom line but good for America.
...then Obama bought a $11.75M mansion on Martha's Vinyard...after earning <$5M in his political career.
Book deals are a farce....money laundering. Obama sold us out to the Chicoms, but other have too.
Chicoms bought millions of acres of farmlands, and America's largest pork producer under Obama..Smithfield Meats.
Pubs are dirty too, so relax Libs....both sides are dirty...they are both selling us all out for their own gains.
TSMC was already building a 3nm (I think) fab in Arizona which is great. Not sure whether or not the chips act gave them anything but that fab can't come online too soon. I know Intel who still owns its own fabs got some gravy out of the deal.
its 5nm, they dont have 3nm yet in mass production yet, just samples

I figured on this nerd thread we had a fairly conversant group, but ok.
