You need to have an entire national team that encompass many sectors so they all work. Together for a communal goal or your just throwing money to throw it and do more harm then good

The chip shortage is temporary. There is no structural problem with the industry. There's a shortage due to buyers slashing orders and chip makers had to cut output, which rippled through the supply chain. By the time the US could build a factory the shortage would be over.

Yes, Xi is making attractive conditions for industrial investors in China 🇨🇳 but US Democrats thinking 🤔 only how to unite all Democrats all over the world 🌍

Intel had 80B in revenue last year they can fund /build their own factory
