Plus nobody seems to be thinking about all the programming jobs that would develop from this, or the jobs to maintain these machines.
This is bad news for the unskilled workers in many of these foreign Asian countries. It is good news generally for the US, Canada and Mexico. With NAFTA we will have cheap robotic labor and plenty of cheap natural resources between our three countries. If a robot can by manufactured that can learn an assembly job and perform it cheaper than the lowest human labor in the world there is no reason to build factories over in Asia anymore. There is a cost to ship raw materials from North America to Asia and then ship the products back here.
The only things I could see continuing to be made in China are items and materials that the EPA would not allowed to be produced in this country. For example, some of the lithium battery components are highly toxic. A manufacturer would not want to risk the lawsuits to manufacture those in the US.
