That will be controversial until mainland China produces modern process chips economically (they can do one or the other so far). Rather Taiwan and South Korea are not the EE powerhouses. China though pays better than Taiwan (a lot of the hardware researchers in my Beijing lab were from Taiwan and Korea).

If (or when) mainland China gets up to speed with modern silicon process, it'll slot in nicely with the rest of the hardware work chain involved in producing electronics, which they pretty much own at this point.

Yes, and it is only a matter of when. But the material science and the lithography, there aren't any shortcuts for them to take there, it will still take awhile.
EE as a US career is night and day from Software centered engineers. Night and day from 20 years ago as well.
