That's what manufacturers are already doing...moving production to places like India and Vietnam.
What's interesting to me is once the trade imbalance with Vietnam tips over to their favor what will the US do. Also it's not like Vietnam is some democratic wonderland in terms of their government.

Vietnam IMO would likely be more than receptive to lots of new business, possibly making a point not "be like China" in order to assure such business.
