As were entire factories and tooling, not to mention intellectual property. We'd have to get that back as well, or re-build it. As for IP, once it's gone, it's GONE.
No it is not gone.
The problem is, China is aggressively playing us.
China keeps things. China keeps jobs. China keeps money. China is always looking out, for China.
America needs to look out for America.
Stop looking out for China. China is doing that, just fine. We need to look out for our own country now.
Stop manufacturing things in China, to be sold in America.
Bring back American manufacturing.

Bring back US jobs.
