The situation is not dandy, but it's the reality.
Even if we block further job transfer to China for these labor-intensive jobs, they will just move to another third world country.
I believe we should make sure China is not putting up any trade barriers and make them buy more American-made goods, like high-tech stuffs and certain agricultural products.
The alternative is to put up trade barriers and become isolationist. However, the last time that happened, it lead to the Great Depression.
