The U.S. has little choice because that's where so many things are fabricated. It takes a lot of time and training to construct and operate fabs like what Taiwan has going for it.

Fortunately we are building some in the states, e.g. Intel, but again -- takes time.

There needs to be very strong economic incentives to bring manufacturing back here, and Democrats love trying to stop that.

I still maintain that bringing on a significant chunk of Taiwanese fab workers and supervisors into mentorship positions so they can train U.S. workers in exchange for safety from the Chinese government is a good deal. Far better than the swarm of illegals, anyway.
