Sounds like you're arguing in favour?

Also, Koreans will prefer ties with Japan, Taiwan, USA, over China. I'm pretty sure.

I'm arguing that the public discourse is guided by misguided, technically illiterate opinion.

A single, or two, to three, to six fabs will change very little to the fact the industry is permanently anchored in Asia, and Taiwan.

Even a $50B cheque to the leading manufacturer will not amount to "buying the industry," but just handing a monopoly to one company.
