No no no. This:
We have China completely by the balls. We print endless streams of money and give those promises to them in exchange for low-end goods. They can't say no and devote their base to satisfying our demands. Meanwhile if we chose to, we could completely cripple them. It would take a year or two to gear production back up for those goods if something "happened" to our Chinese partners or their precious trade routes. We can easily shift production to India or Vietnam as Apple has been doing recently. I'm sure the Mexicans and other guys from that area would love to take up the burden.
Meanwhile the Chinese would have nowhere to unload their junk and they wouldn't be ready to take up the slack for high-end domestic product in nearly the time it would take us to dust off the old factories. We have those guys right where we want them.
edit: I agree our manufacturing sucks (except for like Raytheon and high-end stuff). I'm just saying it doesn't matter.

You know nothing, and have no money in real life 100% guaranteed, if china stopped making our stuff our country would completely collapse
as an example
when covid hit even trump said 95% of masks are made in china, test kits are made in china, vials, needles, IV Bags, GLOVES
you can go right down the list, what else is made in china?
the spritz bottles for clorox clean up and all the other chemicals, the caps for the gallon jugs , everything
most of you are so stupid and none of you want to work, do you know who wants to work? china
