It is simply not in our national interest to offshore so much technology production—especially to potential adversaries. All thought the Cold War, we had very strict laws about technology export and realized the need for an industrial base. After the Cold War, we got complacent, greedy, and stupid—with emphasis on the stupid.

So, I guess there ought to be a law BANNING the Intels and Microsofts of this country from offshoring their products overseas then... (Microsoft has a HUGE development center in China, it could be that some of the MSFT products you and I use are developed there ).

Look, TSMC ( Taiwan Semicondictor Manufacturing Corp. ) is one of America’s chip making fab source, do we write a law BANNING chip making by American companies in Taiwan? ( Remember, they TRADE with China )

Agree.

It is not in our national interest to tax and regulate and sue companies out of the country. Also “free trade” with countries like China is just stupid.
