Not really. Why make something overseas when you can do it in your own backyard for the same or less, while improving availability for your products? China's lockdowns are hampering Apple right now big time. And not having a communist government impede your business is always preferable.

It's moreso because the us is blocking chip exports and imports from China. I.e the US democratic government is impeding on their business.

Apple's chips are manufactured by TSMC which is a Taiwanese company. The plant in Arizona is a plant being built by TSMC in the US.
