what are these manufactures in China going to produce? Weapons to kill Americans that's what. That American owned factory will be confiscated and turned into a munitions factory in a millisecond.

LOL. A cable box has zero overlap with AK47 tooling. And before you get your Star Trek fantasies out, a consumer grade satellite TV receiver does you no good trying to build aerospace/military avionics, unless they want 100% failure rate in the field.

Been to a hardware store in the last decade?

We've sent all our hand tool manufacturing to China also.

Think about hammers. Lug wrenches. Screwdrivers. Awls. Pliers. Saws. Files. Rasps. All those hardened iron manufactured goods made in factories now in China. Then think about an AK-47.

Don't think there's any overlap?

You're sleeping.

YOU are ignorant at best. Here is an example of a benign factory turned into a deadly production facility. A christmas light factory was converted into a proximity fuze production facility during WWII

First large scale production of tubes for the new fuzes[1] was at a General Electric plant in Cleveland, Ohio formerly used for manufacture of Christmas-tree lamps. Fuze assembly was completed at General Electric plants in Schenectady, New York and Bridgeport, Connecticut.[10]

Keep LOL-ing the joke is on us.
