You could order all of the components from china (negligible bom and tariff besides the chip itself) and set up a factory with just a pick & place machine and reflow oven, and pump out 100 $30,000 gpus per hour. There's no reason we can't do this, we just don't do it because we never had a reason to.
But what does this actually accomplish? It isn't reducing our dependence on foreign chips in any way. All it does is introduce a middleman to increase prices.
