I don’t understand this comment.

The USA has a strong semiconductor industry. Probably stronger than China’s. China is traditionally not very strong an semiconductor fabrication.

What they are strong at is PCB assembly. Or rather cheap PCB assembly. You can do that in the USA too, it’s just not as cheap.

I’d guess most military stuff is done in the USA of domestic and mostly non-China made parts.

You’d think so, but a lot of stuff still comes from outside the States. I was an electrician on aircraft in the Navy and got to see a lot of the electronic stuff. Some stuff comes from overseas
How much comes from China or Russia?
