Curious to know what up and coming industries you mean?

  Cryptocurrencies, advanced semiconductors, and cheap per-passenger rail/aircraft. USA is winning on rockets and EVs but that is 100% because of one person and not wider US policy (and I assume most of his production of the latter will be non-US within 5 years).

    Samsung (South Korea), TSMC (Taiwan) and Intel (US, Israel) locate their fabs in small countries that are heavily dependent on the US for ensuring their neighbors do not attack. Two of those three (TSMC & Intel) are building fabs in Arizona due to political pressure, hefty subsidies and geological stability of the area (reducing the number of defects in chips).

      The fabs in AZ are them fishing for ultra massive government handouts. I'll believe it when I see it if the things actually start producing chips within a couple decades.

        You don't think AZ already has a massive fab industry? What is so hard to believe about two more fabs opening up to add to the four Intel already has in the state, together with the new fab already opened by NXP? It's true that Motorola shut down it's old plant in Mesa, but still there is a large workforce in the area. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/semiconductor-fabs-dotting-arizona-silicon-desert/ https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/semiconductor-fabs-dot... https://www.phonearena.com/news/construction-of-tsmc-5nm-fab-in-phoenix-begins_id132524 https://www.phonearena.com/news/construction-of-tsmc-5nm-fab...

    > USA is winning on rockets and EVs but that is 100% because of one person and not wider US policy The US has been far ahead in space since the 1960s, and advanced work in space is by NASA (and contractors). SpaceX has advanced orbital launches. The US is the leader in many, many industries, including IT.
