Article complains about "reliance on Asia" but neglects to mention a giant elephant of a problem.

  PACKAGING

I had to shout it! Sorry, HN guidelines.

Intel makes chips in USA fabs, then sends them abroad, mostly to Asia, to be packaged. Same for anyone else making chips in the USA.

I'm retired now but I highly doubt this has changed recently. It's been going on since the 1970s if not earlier. There are probably a few chips made for the US military that are packaged domestically. But over 99% are sent overseas.

Edit: To take it further, I bet that nowadays over 90% of everything related to electronics manufacturing has moved overseas. It used to be that you could fabricate PCBs domestically. You could have them stuffed with chips and soldered domestically. But now very little volume capability exists for that here. It's all "offshore", because MBAs decided that would be cheaper.
