I doubt that very much. When I visited they had signs notifying the public of land mines around major parks in the countryside or mountains. There were even areas the locals told us not to venture to as they still had land mines dating back to WWII that hadn’t been fully cleared.

This above all things. The number of inputs required to build a microchips is insane. There are probably 2 to 3 thousand separate vendors who are part of this process all of which produce highly specialized products. Not to mention the fact that all silicon used to produce chips is currently mined in a single quarry in South Carolina.

China might be able to make a fab, but the inputs required to make chips are too diverse for any single nation to build 3 or 4 nm chips at scale by themselves.
