I don't think you even realize how much of what we do/consume is manufactured overseas. Even a vast majority of seafood caught in the US is shipped to China for processing because we don't have the facilities or manpower to handle it.
If anything, it will just shift manufacturing to other Asian countries. Maybe some small % of it comes back to the US. Most will just move to a tariff loophole.

But from a strategic perspective that’s fine, so long as those Asian countries are aligned with the US’ interests in the region. Taiwan and Vietnam, for instance, both have a strong interest in containing Chinese expansionism, so their interests align with America’s.
