The problem with outsourcing semiconductor munufacture (as well as other things)and then trying to re-introduce local manufacture again means that the US is in roughly the same place as China is. Both the US and China are starting from scratch in building up new indigenous semiconductor fabs. The US doesn't have the spare trillions to throw at the problem, whereas China does. Forcing China to build their own fabs by banning sales of US chips has been the US shooting itself in the foot. The new US semiconductor manufacturers will be out-competed and and outsold by the new Chinese semiconductor manufacturers. US semiconductor manufacturing will go the same way as US paper production, US tools production, US textile production, US contsruction-materials production, US auto production, US shipbuilding production, ....., (You get the idea).
