> This is why Intel’s shift to being not simply an integrated device manufacturer but also a foundry is important: yes, it’s the right thing to do for Intel’s business, but it’s also good for the West if Intel can pull it off.

It's good for the US, not "the West".

Intel is also building a new fab in Germany. So no, it's not just the US.
