This has yet to prove it is economically viable. Especially when you flip off 1.4 billion customers.

1.4 billion and shrinking. It's much more profitable to push products like these to countries like India whose population and customer base is more stable.

Ah the 'shrinking population' argument again... lol.

The fact is that US production will only be able to target US population, because will not be competitive with the production of the rest of the world. So the point about profitability and economies of scale stands.

That is the point of putting sanctions and tariffs on China : the west can't compete.

Also : Reshoring isn't happening

I was talking about targeting sales to India instead China do to dropping demand over time, but whatever floats your boat with the rest of the comment.

India is already a target of sales of semiconductors from different countries, including China.

If the US need to put tariffs and sanctions on China to protect itself, there is no reasons to believe its products will be competitive.

China population will decline, but this is a very long time prospect. In the meantime, it is developping its BRI initiative that will create vastly most consumers for its products than it will lose due to population loss.

A lot more consumers for China, a lot less for the west.
