    Yes it does.

    Do you know why we outsourced everything to China? Because they can do it cheaper.

    You can get it back, have it higher quality, more jobs, better control over it, all that good stuff. But it won’t be cheaper.

    The US sells things they can make comparatively cheaper (not just price, its an opportunity cost) - better educated population, logistic, access to raw material, infrastructure investments. China sells things they can do cheaper - usually the fact that life is cheap in China.
