I hope this is the start of US bringing manufacturing back to the States. There needs to be a hardware alley in silicon valley, much like the hardware alley in Shenzhen. For one thing, China is still a communist government that is authoritarian and ignores environmental pollutions (to the world). It also ignores human rights, supports dictators in Africa, and props up totalitarian government in Russia. These are good reasons to not do business with China.

Also worth watching is India. The newly elected PM has taken "Make in India" quite seriously. The world's largest democracy is gearing up for a huge manufacturing boom. Cheaper than the States, humane conditions, English as a medium of communication and excellent economic relations with most countries.

  No disrespect, but India has horrible infrastructure, horrible treatment of women (rape, disregards from police on harassment cases), and other horrible things.

    That's a lot of horrible. It's not all rainbows in India but downsides like the ones you mentioned are not all there is. That said, I was vastly more impressed with the infra in SZ than Bangalore. SZ is a modern metropolis where Bangalore, well... It has pockets of shiny corporate havens I the suburbs. (FWIW, I personally prefer the grit of downtown BGL to SZ anyway)

I agree manufacturing should become more diverse. Your other comments are factually true, but i don't think they're totally fair. To play devil's advocate: China acknowledge they've got a pollution problem and introduced several methods to start addressing it [1][2][3]. USA also ignores human rights[4][5][6][7], supports dictators and totalitarian governments[8], fights proxy wars and arms terrorists[9][10]. "These are good reasons to not do business with" the USA.
