That ship has not only sailed away, it was never on port in the first place. The article gets the reasons for this increased interest in chip technology wrong; it has nothing to do with COVID recovery and everything to do with keeping a competitive edge in a world where China has a national policy of developing competitive state of the art CPUs. Secondly, chip manufacturing was always in the eye of the US's strategic interests for blindingly obvious reasons. It's a garbage article that has random lines of government blaming and the garbage editorial line of the Murdoch-owned WSJ where the state can do nothing right and private actors deserve all credit.
