I think it's been well known for a while now that it makes less sense from a financial point of view to manufacture key components domestically when a communist country can do the same and ship product back for half what it would cost overall to run the factory here. Ethically however it results in high unemployment as skilled workers have nowhere to actually work and economically it makes you extremely top heavy as even mild influence by a third party can topple everything.
There's no way out of this closed loop without a mutually accepted economic downturn and it seems nobody wants to have that on the books as it ends their political careers.
