I do agree here, and I hope you're right. We have seen much noise from American capitalists about moving manufacturing out of China and, ideally, back to the United States (not happening right now because of labor cost / profit margin issues) or to other Global South countries like Vietnam (with its socialist-oriented market economy, because they learned nothing from their debacle with China's market socialism).

Again, the magical capitalist dream of AGI is that the fully automated factories will be so cheap to run because of no labor costs that they can bring manufacturing back in the USA. It is the deus ex machina they hope will fix everything and guarantee U.S. dominance forever.
