Yes Intel has used that to get more funding from governments around the world for building their new factories, and they are building in Europe, USA and Israel.
TSMC is building factories outside Taiwan too for geopolitical reasons, and probably to secure the business in case of a Chinese invasion. Rumor has it that their Taiwan sites are rigged with explosives to make them worthless in case of a Chinese invasion.
Now Samsung adds a whopping 16 factories to the mix, but I bet Samsung wouldn't do that to save the world, they do it to make money.
