United States Politics: ∆τ_i*ε*φ*m_i<0 where ε=4 and φ=0.25

Vance is clear about the reasons though. They want to be more competitive with China. For the US I've seen many arguments that it can work because it could be self sufficient. 
Still you have to keep your customers happy too and for the US that means trading partners like Europe and well, they're not doing that so Europe buys more from China.
 
There is also the challenge that this is a risky long term plan they need to carry out at record speed. Moving away from quarterly targets to long term growth. Plus all the staff required for new high tech factories. In China most of the factories are set-up with a joint effort of European and Chinese companies.

I think they need to be more selective with industries. Microchips is a good idea but cars and such? I think they'll just end up with lots and containers full of stock with no destination.
If the US produces twice as many cars, spoons, tables etc. the prices will drop but who will buy them?
