Look at the top 12 chip manufacturers globally. The ones that design the chips that run our everyday lives. They are mostly US based companies. The IP is within, mostly, US based companies. I posted this in another comment. This is why the US is heavily subsidizing bringing that to US soil [0]. This is preemptive, but in many ways, a bit late. If you're saying the US doesn't know how to design and build chips then you're conflating two very different things. The US manufacturers used to build them here, but the global supply chain made it infeasible to do it on US soil historically. The US currently doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to fabricate the chips they design - but the actual R&D is here. China doesn't have that. > It is not because of some kind of US tech brilliance. If that's the case then please share one Chinese rival to Intel / AMD.
