Semiconductors are not fungible. Using US alternatives also means dropping all the AI plans and subsidies, at least on US soil. The big AI data centers would all end up in China, owned and managed by subsidiaries and leased back to the parent.

Well does it matter where industry & technology are located (and who controls them) or doesn't it? The anti-protectionism crowd thinks no, it makes no difference if we make something locally, or import it. A stance not shared by any of the countries currently leading the semiconductor industry - or in the case of China, rapidly catching up.
