Don't believe nanometers. It's all BS. TSMC doesn't make the tech that makes chips either. They just run machines. You could get any trained ape to do what they do.

@wolfgangrenner4152 actually China can't buy the machines. They're export controlled. Only one company on Earth can make fab machines. It's in a western aligned country too. But the ban isn't losing them any business either. They can only build a finite number of machines a year and they're all easily sold. Oh, and if you have to ask what one costs you can't afford it.

@wolfgangrenner4152 perhaps. All we know now is they haven't done it yet. The west has plenty of production. We just don't make consumer products. The profit margin is too low there for us.

@wolfgangrenner4152 with automation manufacturing will likely change again. There's going to be factories with no one in them. It'll all be done by robots. That'll bring on a whole host of new problems. It is difficult for society to keep up with technology. It's not even the labor that's the major factor driving things now. It's shipping container tech. Docks are mechanized these days.
