Sure, but which technology should USA reproduce. Just chips, and then be late on everything else?

No. There is a gigantic machine in China, its name is Shenzen. Its magic is that you can find any part and people who can rebuild them differently.

This is the entire “valley” that USA should bring back home. USA should bring back the construction of the Macbooks, phones, servers and routers, and the entire ecosystem of tinkering that comes with it. This is the backbone of USA’s national security.

We just have to acknowledge that having local industries means having poverty and dirty waste disposal at home instead of 9000km away. Which is not necessarily a bad thing either, so we can innovate on efforts.
