High-end chips like Ryzen and Tegra are not manufactured in the People's Republic of China actually.

Do you have a source?

They are made by GlobalFoundries, which have only just started construction on a lab in China - wikipedia.

GF is likely to scrap that project since they dropped out of the node race.

SSC also put a hold on building a 7nm node fab in China.

GF has foundries in Germany and in the US, TSMC is Taiwan. Beyond that the only other fab for hire company with an advanced node is SSC and all their advanced fabs are in Korea.

The only thing that China can currently fab on a matching node are display panels.

Their IC nodes are still stuck on 28nm and even that is pushing it.
