Dang.
If this continues it will soon be cheaper to make things in the US.

No, because our unemployment is now at record low levels. We simply don’t have the labor force to manufacture even a fraction of the electronics, shoes, textiles, etc. etc. that we import from China and the rest of the world.
Therefore, if you want to substitute U.S.-made goods for a substantial portion of our imports, you’d need to pay huge wages to millions of Americans. in order to draw them out of the high-tech and service industries — after which they presumably would take jobs in factories. How would that work out? Not very well, IMHO.
