China builds more new fabs than other countries.

Thank you, US politicians. By forcing China to grow its own advanced semiconductor industry, you have begun the kill-off of the US advanced semiconductor industry.

Ignorant politicians (read: 'ALL OF THEM') should be prohibited from making important industrial decisions.

No time at all, in relative terms. Five years is a lifetime in the semiconductor industry.

As the Red Queen said to Alice: “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
