I think it's weird that most of the IP is developed and owned by US companies, yet everything is being built overseas. Of course I'm talking about core chips, like CPUs, SoC, RAM, flash memory, etc.
I don't really understand why Taiwan has so many of those chip factories. I can understand why developing countries like China have been assembling electronic devices for so long, because the labor is cheap, but I don't think that chip making follows the same rule. Those generally are high tech factories, and I don't see why Taiwan has so many of them.
