This comment is suspicious to me. It’s been companies like Apple that have pioneered using Chinese labor to increase their profits. Moving jobs to the USA won’t help make them any richer. It makes economic sense but not strategic sense

I don't think it makes economic sense. Bringing production back here creates jobs, but we have low unemployment so we don't really need more manufacturing jobs here.

It makes sense for national security though.
