As long as the semiconductors are not critical to our defense industry I say let the free market work. Put the plants wherever the companies need to be in order to maximize profits and compete globally. Don't regulate choices for the American or any other consumer.

There is more too it than just that IMO. That is only two of the issues.

There are ways to balance things out. Giving it all to China is not the best way to serve the US, nor its consumers, nor serves the best interests of US companies.

I don't want to buy Chinese stuff. Where is MY choice?

The whole issue of 'choice' is bogus.

By the way, what free market? Where is the free market?

I say we should have the plants where there is the closest thing to free markets possible.

Here is my two cents about the problem and how to fix it.

I say let the free market work.

That could only work if there was such a thing as a "free market" in the world today. There is no "free market" in the world today, just an ever-growing slave market.
