The reason or whatever for the ongoing war with china doesn&amp;#x27;t matter.&lt;p&gt;Similar factories are being built in Germany by Infineon: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.infineon.com&amp;#x2F;cms&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;about-infineon&amp;#x2F;press&amp;#x2F;press-releases&amp;#x2F;2021&amp;#x2F;INFXX202109-098.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.infineon.com&amp;#x2F;cms&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;about-infineon&amp;#x2F;press&amp;#x2F;press-r...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Samsung in Texas: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.datacenterdynamics.com&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;samsung-plans-17-billion-chip-plant-in-taylor-texas&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.datacenterdynamics.com&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;samsung-plans-17-...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intel in Arizona: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cnbc.com&amp;#x2F;2021&amp;#x2F;03&amp;#x2F;23&amp;#x2F;intel-is-spending-20-billion-to-build-two-new-chip-plants-in-arizona.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cnbc.com&amp;#x2F;2021&amp;#x2F;03&amp;#x2F;23&amp;#x2F;intel-is-spending-20-billion...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Samsung&amp;#x2F;SK in Korea: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;fortune.com&amp;#x2F;2021&amp;#x2F;05&amp;#x2F;13&amp;#x2F;south-korea-chip-semiconductor-samsung-hynix&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;fortune.com&amp;#x2F;2021&amp;#x2F;05&amp;#x2F;13&amp;#x2F;south-korea-chip-semiconducto...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;India is doing something with Risc-V: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;pib.gov.in&amp;#x2F;PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1820621&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;pib.gov.in&amp;#x2F;PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1820621&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall, divestment from china seems to be the goal. But this many new factories being produced is going to overproduce chips and eliminate any profitability; but inexpensive chips like this will most likely create a boon to the economies.</text></comment>
