Neither chip or display manufacturing is driven by labor cost. China has, or had, no advantage here whatsoever -- other than the gov't subsidies and Apple, a large American investor and guaranteed buyer/customer. The display industry was previously dominated by Japan; then is by South Korea. Both countries are close US allies -- or America's "lapdogs" if you prefer. The mobile OLED as we know today is mostly Samsung's achievement -- they were the first to successfully develop, commercialize and mass-produce with large market share, both as producer (95+%) and consumer (95+%) until a few years ago.
