That's a weird argument, you will essentially not find one country in the world that is autark from others. If they are building stuff they depend on raw products from other countries and other countries to buy their things. If they consume things they are dependent on others again. I mean even if you're the centre of semiconductor manufacturing in the world like Taiwan, you still depend on others to build your machinary (pretty much all the EUV systems are build by Asml a Dutch Company)
