China wasn't impressed by our "liberal values" - they were impressed with our ability to build things. We traded them the knowledge needed to build things in exchange for things (because we hate actually making things because the wrong people get rich doing so).

No. The manufacturers got driven out by impossible to follow rules long before China industrialized; by the 1980s American cars were awful because of this.

Tariffs miss the point because the same permanent government that did its best to destroy industry through regulation would be the ones setting the tariffs and trade restrictions. That would only work if the destruction of industry through regulation was an accident; it wasn't.

If staying in America was profitable for business of course they would stay; much better to own a business that you can personally oversee - too much risk in an operation you can't supervise. Of course, the businesses aren't in charge in any way.
