I'd agree with you, but this has already happened when IBM sold its Fab [1] to Global-Foundries which is owned by Mubadala Investment Company from the U.A.E

IBM's Fab was on the DoD trusted foundry list [2] Slide 13, Intel's is not.

There's an article that already rang this alarm around national-security when IBM divested itself of its Fab. [3]

Intel does have government contracts today[1][2], however, so some aspects of that situation may have changed with time.
