Foxconn (trading as Hon Hai technology group in Taiwan) is a Taiwanese electronics manufacturing corporation. I am not an expert in the field, but i think that it is not the same as a Fab or semiconductor or chip manufacturer corporation; this would be a company like TSMC (also a Taiwanese corporation). It is a massive company; the world's largest manufacturer of contract electronics. This itself is indicative of the way as a country alone, Taiwan dominates electronics (along with Japan and South Korea) and why the CCP wants it so badly (other to extinguish the possibility of democracy and rule of law ever occuring in mainland China), and why Taiwan is so geopolitically important, not just to China but the world in general, and also why it might be economically worth the fearsome cost of fighting a world war to defend it from totalitarian tyranny. Foxconn primarily assembles electronics finished parts from components. Like mobile phones. It may make components, like the case or chassis of the phone, in the factory from raw or semi-raw materials but the electronics chip sets and screens are made elsewhere and delivered to Foxconn for assembly. In the automobile world, this would be like a company like Toyota manufacturing the finished vehicles in the manufacturing plant. However, most of the parts are already fabricated, like the engine and transmission, which is assembled to the body or chassis of the automobile,
