I`ll focus on chip production. A man three times got the Chinese government to fund a chip production company and all failed before any product was made. The government is not even the problem It`s the standards that's the problem. They`re not set up to make anything at that level . i suspect Russia can`t also.
You need very very expensive pure water to make a microchip. No way Russia would even follow that strict rule. This level of technology require non-profitable practices. That`s why The U.S. started outsourcing. We just didn`t want to spend that kind of money to be the best anymore. Taiwan was formerly occupied by the Japanese and obviously modify that level of discipline . Japan does make Chips but has massive political road blocks . I suspect this will change soon.
