I would argue the real answer is world class supply chain for high tech manufacturing. And that supply chain is heavily subsidised.

Not just subsidised, but the supply chain is literally in the same block.

That's the thing Chinese do where other countries can't compete. If you're making product X, all of your suppliers are within walking distance around your assembly line.

In Europe they might be 4 countries over.
