I find it fascinating that through all this, rarely if ever is it mentioned through traditional media channels that the reason in large part for all of this might just be because of our over-reliance on China and other countries when it comes to manufacturing.

How beautiful would it be if chips, and many other things, were built here in the US? In addition to the myriad of obvious benefits, another would be not having to wait over a month or more between a chip “rolling off the line” and finally making the month or more long trip from overseas.

Sure, most news articles regarding this issue will mention offshore production in passing - its impossible not to. But very few if any are actually making that a focal point of the article.



china does not, and never has made the vast majority of ICs


OTOH, when US chipmaking moved overseas, Taiwan was the only China that could be considered.
