I completely agree with you ajr1775. The immediate affect of the trade war with China will be painful, but over time will pay off big time. In fact, some US companies will eventually be forced to move operations back to the US. That means more jobs. Over time, the production costs will go down and the US will become the new China with regards to providing electronic products. We might actually become competitive with Japan ;-) Most folks just don't truly understand the US economy in general, nor do they understand just how much China has been screwing over the world economy (not just the US) over the past decades. They only understand near-term affects and don't know how to look at the bigger picture further into the future. The facts are simple - China does NOT want free trade because that means the end of their profitting tyranny over Europe and the US. Love him or hate him, President Trump is the very first president to actually keep his promise to fix the huge mess with our trade agreements.
You are being overly optimistic - there's no way these jobs will go back to the US. Not only is the US workforce far too expensive in general, qualified workers simply don't exist in that country! We see it everyday in the car industry: even top grade luxury Tesla cars have quality problems (misaligned body panels, faulty electronics, burnt out screens) that come straight from the factory when even the cheapest Vietnamese power switches have clean soldering and proper assembly. So before these jobs come back to the US, Trump's administration will have tariff-blocked 80% of Asian countries, 60% of Europe (as in, the EU and some other countries like Switzerland) and 30% of Africa (the countries that can actually work in semi-advanced semiconductors)... Meaning that yes, in 10 years this tariff war could still be going on and the US would face global scale retaliation.
And what would happen then? The rest of the world, blocked from the US market, could really well ask for the US to reimburse their debts...
China don't really care : their internal market and their resources are both high enough that they could keep running autonomously for the next half century (China is feeding half of Asia already) and as for your thinly veiled "red commies bastards" comment, it's funny how a liberal country like the US are accusing a Communist country of trading too freely - and using a Commie tool (tariffs) to 'defend' themselves. Pot, kettle.
