Where are the chip foundries?

China & SE Asia.

It’s not too hard to predict of figure out.

There are only 4-5 decent foundries world wide for process technology smaller than 22 nm.
From best to worst

Intel
TSMC
Samsung
Global Foundry
UMC

Intel (Portland, OR and Phoenix, AZ)
Qualcomm uses both TSMC and UMC (Taiwan)
AMD and IBM use Global Foundry (Germany, NY)
Samsung does stuff for lots of companies but only recently moved into advanced sub micron (South Korea)

No advanced fab is in China although they are trying to get something going.
