Samsung's transistors are only slightly behind TSMC, SS8nm probably trades blows with intel 10nm and solidly beats 14+++. And their DRAM and NAND flash is the probably the best, so it is at least comparable.
But beyond SK I cannot think of any other countries with competitive fabs.
Also only a tangent but I really believe that deal where TSMC is going to put a N7 fab in the USA is either going to get restructured into something way smaller or never ever going to happen.
