"[...] chip sets that are like ST Micro [a Swiss company with American factories]"

I guess that if Ford moved their HQ in DRC, it would be called a Congolese company with American factories, too?

I googled St Micro. It's a france company with no factories in the US since 2010 as far as I can tell.

Lol, i hadn't even checked the status (or existence, even) of ST's US factories. I've just known the company for a good amount of years having worked with their products for several projects and thus already knew that the biggest portion of their factories and offices is spread across France and Italy (whence their venture originally started from), so to present it as a Swiss company just underlined a very poor knowledge of the topic IMHO
