The artcle always refers to sales of US brand chips, not the export of US brand chips. I know some chips are made in the US, but does anyone know what portion of US brand chips are still produced here?
No, you help them by using the leverage/national power at your disposal to drive FAIR trade arrangements on a bilateral basis.
Unlike those who would sell the nation’s wealth and prosperity for a chance to skim a percent off the top.
And, their advocates.
Certainly Intel is at high risk.
They invested 10s of billions in China, both manufacturing and R&D. Half their low-end manufacturing is in China.
Intel opens first chip manufacturing plant in China
Lots of chip activity in China involving Intel and others.
Intel chip production in China
I think this article is mostly about the sale of chips to China from a national security viewpoint, not necessarily the export of chips. And that Google just covers Intel.
But there are still many Intel plants in the US, but it looks like most of the assembly and testing is done in cheap labor nations.

I believe a huge amount of US brand chip production, testing and assembly has already been moved to cheap labor nations.
“Your isolationist vision is never going to come about.”
It’s already here and is the dominant political sentiment nationwide.
“Free Trade” advocates are unelectable. Unless they LIE.
I am an economic isolationist (i.e patriot) but in other things not do much. Nice broad brush painting on your part....
>> facts are facts and no amount of fallacious ad hominem attack will change them <<
Don’t bother us with facts. We don’t need no stinkin’ facts.
Intel Dalian plant is fabricating only 65nm chips. All the advanced fabs are in the USA + 1 in Ireland and 1 in Israel.
65nm is ancient technology from 2005.
