No way. Labor costs alone have a huge impact. Then add in government regulations, process and controls, HR costs, etc. - plus - many raw materials also coming from the region, and costs are much lower.

BUT, they can't do anything without American supervision. So while I don't see manufacturing coming back here, I see more and more ex-pats relocating to watch over the production areas.
