SK Hynix was government funded by South Korea, Japan has always invested heavily in chip plants from government money. Only part of the reason for offshoring has been for cheaper labor. A good portion is because offshore semiconductor factories got better subsidies from the host country.

I wonder if that spike rivals the investment of post WWII-1960 period. Is it possible to extend the x-axis?
