   5 i    For  all  the wishful thinking about manufacturing more laptops
   6 i    and  iPhones  in  the  U.S.,  there  is  [1]one  sector of tech
   7 i    manufacturing  where America remains a leader: computer chips .
   8 i    From a report:
   9 i
  10 i    >  Some  $44  billion worth of semiconductors are exported from
  11 i    the  U.S.  each  year,  making  them  America's  fourth leading
  12 i    manufacturing  export  after  cars,  airplanes and refined oil.
  13 i    There  are  roughly  80  wafer fabrication plants (aka fabs) in
  14 i    the  U.S., spread across 19 states. [...] An even greater share
  15 i    of  the  world's  computer  chips are designed domestically and
  16 i    made  overseas by companies including Qualcomm, Apple, Broadcom
  17 i    and  Nvidia.  A  bunch  of the high-tech gear needed to produce
  18 i    chips is also designed and/or made in the U.S.
