That part is solved:
(1) German BASF is one of the manufactures for "semiconductor chemicals".
(2) More important: Getting parts from Malaysia (etc) is no issue as I don't think they plan to attack any neighboring countries in the next decade. Also, they did not start a trade boycott against Lithuania just over the name of an trade office.
