It looks like Intel still has much production in the US, but in 2010 they opened a chip producing plant in China the size of 23 football fields.

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.

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.
