Yes because they have an autonomy incentive, but "our" (as in Western capitalism) incentives is solely on profit and profit is being done, therefore we will never solve this because in fact there's no problem. We are being mocked by all these PC parts suppliers.

I don't think you're wrong, I'm just not sure how it relates to what I said.

But they really wanted to shit on capitalism regardless of context.

What's weird is that capitalism should be driving others to set up fabs because it is so profitable.

I mean fair enough I suppose. It's almost like capitalism doesn't quite work like how it says it does in the advertising.... sigh.

The fact it runs on profit is not the deciding factor in this case. If the RAM manufacturers had more capacity, they would profit even more. The main problem is that those factories are huge investments that you would need to commit until the finish-line successfully without going bankrupt before you will be able to produce anything. China can take this risk because state funds and actual geopolitical justifications. Western countries can say to themselves too easily that they can keep buying it from Asia, which causes no countries or investors to want to commit to a similar project.
