America doesn't need half of it's national demand met by domestic production. Just enough to not need to start from scratch should China gain control over Taiwan. South Korea might already be fulfilling that role with GlobalFoundries (though that's owned by the UAE so ... ).

It'd be a nightmare trying to get the skilled foreign labor into America these days though so it's a lost cause anyway.
