Chinese labor is still drastically cheaper than labor in the US. The problem is that it's becoming not cheap enough to offset the cost of shipping finished goods to the US. Especially if new taxes and tariffs come into play.

Productivity, brah.
Chinese workers are cheap but they also produce less and are overwhelmingly low quality workers.
China also has the problem where Chinese people don't trust things made by Chinese people especially food products. The demand for American made goods is high.
It would be very profitable for those that want to sell in domestic markets in China so set up shop in the US.
