It’s not xenophobia, it’s a matter of national security for every single western nation. Without Intel, x86 processor manufacturing would be limited to TSMC in Taiwan, and would only serve to further incentivise Chinese aggression over the island.

So yes, paranoia - but sometimes that can be a good thing.

And there's also resilience against natural disasters. Having processor manufacturing limited to one place is just a bad idea.
