it takes billions of dollar and nearly decades to build fabs; which are the only places chips can be produced; that's why western hegemonic forces like the american gov't or the international monetary fund will only help build very few, to ensure that there's no viable competition but enough extra capacity in cases it's ever needed.
I would hope that they would distribute this technology in order to give it redundant resiliency, protection against sabotage
