chips are critical for so many things, each "zone" of the world should have its own capabilities to build leading-edge chips, and probably with international collaboration on R&D (like ITER).

I don't think the global economy can "fund" properly more than the current number of actors of this industry, namely each of those zones would have to consider what would be its "local" leading-edge chip manufacturing as a "military defence"-thingy: making money out of it would be optional.

Yes, I agree, but the underlying IP is top secret. No one in the world can replicate it. I believe the leading forces want it to remain this way. (China shouldn't get its hand on high tech UEV machines because they might reverse engineer them, enforce export control laws etc.)
