    China makes most of the silicon wafers that chips are made out of. Not because they’re the only ones who can, but because they have the resources, infrastructure, and manpower to do it cheaper than anyone else. High end chips aren’t manufactured in mainland China though. Taiwan, South Korea, and the US do most of that.
