This is what people were talking about in the beginning of the pandemic but, if anything, all this has taught us is we should invest even more deeply in global supply chains. If US made most of the masks that the US needed, then we would be shutting down all of our mask making factories right when we needed them. Because China makes our masks, China can buy global masks while they were locked down on a pandemic and now they can turn around and be the factory for the world while everyone else desperately needs masks. What we should be wary about is Single Points of Failure but we should be worried about that regardless of what the supply chain looks like.
