Lot of issues... but it all should have been prevented in the first place. It's not likely that manufacturing will ever really return to US like it once was. We have had administration policies that literally handed our manufacturing away and signed their death certificates for them. Policies and regulations have been the downfall. And, will continue to be, because the way our government is designed and politics handled; the same mistakes are repeated with every administration and party shift. It's just a pendulum that swings back and forth every few years. No matter what changes and policies are put in place by an administration, international business knows it's only a few years till it changes. Thus, another huge win for China. Their changes actually last and stick around for the long haul to show improvement.

In the US and other places policies just keep shifting. One party is eager to just rip out and undo everything that was put in place by the previous. And setup policies to be a pita for the next. It's really quite counter-productive, even embarassing.
