To know how to automate a job, you have to know how to do the job, and all the physics behind it, plus the automation skills. If there are no factories in your country that even produce that product there isn’t going to be a supply of people to automate the job. The automation jobs and tech that goes with that will follow the manual labour jobs and factories they are in.

That said, the US still has a massive manufacturing industry, Mexico even larger, and of course there are places like India, and the entire rest of the world... So China has zero stranglehold on "how to make things". Just current infrastructure to do so. Note, the real issue is the economics. No China, and if no alternative cheap source of labour, mean massive, massive inflation.
