Way more complicated than simply "next cheaper place". Modern manufacturing has long, really, really long supply chains. You also need a mix of labor (low-end, mid-range, high-end). The Chinese-focused East-Asian manufacturing worked because you could get mid-range labor from China/Malaysia, low-end from interior parts of China/Vietnam/Bangladesh, and high-end labor from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. Latin America is a good candidate because of the easy availability of raw materials and short supply lines to America. But their internal stability is a huge problem.
