"non-China" Asia, they got all the top-notch foundries (Taiwan and South Korea). They don't manufacture some critical tools yet, but they should be able to if they want to. China wants its silicium automony and is seriously working on it, India too as it seems. US/america is actually restoring its silicium full autonomy. Meanwhile in EU, we buy intel fabs... amazing way to build EU silicium autonomy. At least, if RISC-V is a success, many chips from anywhere could move around and software should interoperate anywhere without toxic IP in the way or horrible compilers for abysmally complex computer language syntax. A part of the spectrum of chip types won't be able to move around due to "trust issues", but it should happen anyway for a still significant part of this spectrum.
