Efficiency is secondary when it comes to strategic goods. Plus, I'm not saying don't trade, just don't eliminate your capabilities to take up production when necessary. 25% should keep a strong base of knowledgeable people and industry in the United States that could be tapped to gear up should the need arise.

Americans are among the hardest working people in the world. We work some of the longest most grueling hours available. No paid sick leave no vacation in many cases and no fucking siestas like Euro cucks get. We grind hard and do so with integrity. The reason Chinese labor is in such high demand is because they can hide their shit craftsmanship with raw numbers. 500,000 defective units in the face of 8000000 units produced doesn't seem so bad considering the price point. Americans would be held to a higher standard and not just that, they would expect the product they're building to meet their expectations too. Like it or not, I believe the world is scared that they might just be willing to pay a tad more for a superior product.

Getting cucked by big businesses does not mean you are hard working. You are getting reamed..
When I go into factories, the mexicans and asians work by far the hardest. We literally have a bunch of white male snowflakes who cry at everything...
Iphones come from china. All smartphones are made well. Most of what you are saying with defective units is simply small manufacturing businesses. They literally expect the thing to break. It's almost a scam... What they do is smart. They cut the cost next to zero, they speed up the manufacturing, and they don't do a qc test. What a good manufacturer in China does is to do the work efficiently and gain a reputation. 70% are good manufacturers, 30% are nearly scams looking to gain a profit.
That has yet to be proven.. it's actually been proven for decades americans want the most for cheap. The only place this works is if its a premium and luxury item.. but chinese will just set up manufacturing plants in china and do the same quality if they want. If they want they can do the same or better quality. Only the highlevel watchmaking or high end leather making stuff is safe.. since it takes a very long history and experienced industry to do that. Just like how chinese manufacturing is equally as prolific.
