Toast message
The pure silicon used in the world's chip fabs mostly comes from Japan.
Ricardian comparative advantage is a factor but is mostly at the corporate level now rather than the country. e.g. Italian leather used to be considered the best because of the wealth of experience and knowledge transfer of Italian leather workers. Nowadays it is factories full of Chinese migrant workers living in Italy so they can still stamp "Made in Italy" on them and the Italians don't work.
e.g. [Giorgio Armani bags were produced by exploited Chinese workers near Milan, Italian police say](https://apnews.com/article/giorgio-armani-italian-fashion-supply-chain-abuses-exploitation-40cd94429e5a053c500383127a5c4ca2)
