The US does have domestic electronics manufacturing. There are many fabs in the US actually. Mostly Intel and GloFo. The semiconductor market is a complicated one and not easily explained in an internet comment.

But suffice it to say, things are far more complicated than that.

And the real reason the US wants to avoid war with China, and vice versa. Is because we are talking about two nuclear states with competent second strike capability. This is the same reason why the cold war never went hot. Nobody wants to see the outcome. Millions dead, civilization set back a century or so etc.
