Not only that, Intel is the only hedge against China deciding to go ahead with its invasion of Taiwan and destroying the western computer chip lead.

Though IMO government funds like CHIPs should be issued via stock buys instead of grants. Especially if it's a bailout. And the government, as an investor, should be looking out for the public's best interest rather than purely seeking profit.
