China has spent billions trying to develop an internal semiconductor industry. Seems like a lot of it disappeared into people's pockets. Sounds familiar vis-a-vis Russian defense spending eh?

I highly recommend Asianomtmetry's channel. He is an SME on this subject. The TLDR is that the machines used to make semiconductors are Dutch and even with those machines, making enough and economically is not easy.
