How come these dopes never consider, “Hey we should make chips here.”

Rather than find another Third World contractor to become dependent on ?

Lots of chips are made in Taiwan. The demand for semi-conductors continues to grow faster than the ability to make them. It takes months to make a chip and even longer to make the factory that produces them. If it is not the weakest link in our Civilization right now it certainly is close.

Microchip manufacturing is the most automated process in the industrial world.

Very hard for me to understand why Developed Countries would outsource something that important to potential enemies like China or to Third World Countries.

Vietnam realized in the 80s that Communism doesn’t work.

Still autocratic, but then again, so is Singapore.
