The globalists are running out of cheap places to manufacture and if supply chains keep getting ruptured, the governments of the homelands in which the globalists have their headquarters will enact restraints. The most simple requirement will be for a company to be able to ramp up domestic production(meaning keeping tools and manufacturing lines in ready storage) should their foreign producers be disrupted.

I wish it was that easy. How do companies keep a domestic line in 'ready storage'? Are they expected to keep large amounts of property/buildings that they don't use at all? Warehouses that could be sold to other companies that want to produce here, who can then provide jobs that the empty space otherwise wouldn't have any of? How much production capacity would they need to have ready to turn on? 100% of current? 50%? 10%? How do they account for storage damages (stuff doesn't just start back up after sitting for decades)? What about revisions/upgrades to products? How do those apply to storage production facilities? What about discontinued products? Do those need to still have tooling?

And finally, what about knowledge/workers? If China disappears, how are these companies gonna have the people ready to go to just start producing? it'll take time to train management, to train trainers, to then try to find people to work, who have to be trained. Which, in any situation this is needed, every other foreign manufacturer will be doing the same thing. Not gonna happen very easily, if it'll work at all.

I'm not specifically trying to be contrarian, but the practicalities of such a thing make this process not very feasible, I think.
