We do want manufacturing jobs here. China is cheaper due to their government subsidies and how they price to enter markets. That does not make them profitable. The US can compete with our manufacturing on a surprising range of products and that’s not by not paying the workers. China manufacturing is struggling in many areas because their policies are not sustainable forever. The tariffs are tipping the balance.

I remember visiting a manufacturing plant in Canada. Way more expensive that the US. In the back they had a single manufacturing line producing fly swatters. It doesn’t get more basic and each one didn’t sell for much….but it made money.
