I would love to see reshoring, but we have to be realistic about it and target the areas most critical to sovereignty and security. The scale of Chinese manufacturing is mind boggling, and we probably aren’t going to be making random affordable consumer products any time soon.

Maybe the FCC lab rules ought to be more selective, allowing consumer goods but not commercial/industrial goods at these labs.

Alternatively, maybe we can subsidize the consumer. What I don’t want to see is everything becoming 10x more expensive or completely unavailable at home while the rest of the world gets to keep the status quo.

Yep the only real area that reshoring can provide savings is in shipping and iteration time. The former is cheap compared to US labor and the latter can be solved by having your design team in China too.
