But _are_ they made in mainland China? Another mainly state-funded
Chinese company is making x86 CPUs and they've usually been made by
TSMC:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhaoxin

However they're not saying where the latest model is being made:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/21189/zhaoxin-unveils-kx7000-cpus-eight-x86-cores-at-up-to-370-ghz

As for Loongson, the Wikipedia page says plainly that their chips
are made by STMicroelectronics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson#History

With this fairly recent reference (though not from a very relevent
source):
"STMicroelectronics, a French-Italian multinational electronics
 manufacturer, fabricates and markets Loongson's chips, which
 is fabless."
https://www.verdict.co.uk/china-backed-chip-company-files-for-shanghai-ipo/

ST aren't known for making cutting-edge PC CPUs, but they don't
have fabs in China (or Taiwan) either.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STMicroelectronics

In a practical sense an important factor for semiconductor fabs has
always been yeild - how many failed chips they get in a batch. At
some point before the PRC can produce such chips competitively with
western/Taiwanese manufacturers, they'll probably be able to
produce them at a lower yeild, but for a price that their
government is willing to pay for the security of having full
control over their production, and just to keep their fabs
going/improving. In the mean time foreign fabs can be used to make
the chips commercially for normal consumer products.
