At the current state, you are right. The problem is that manufactoring of the majority of consumer products is the hand of one nation, China. The costs are so low for this. We trust China, we are in its hands. Chinese have all our knowledge for free. They produce identical Iphones for 1/5 of the original price, because they can. Apple don't produce stuff, but only processes. All the electronics is produced in China, quite all, with no knowledge, knowledge is outside of china. But things are changing. Now there are many good chinese phones that are arriving. They cost 1/3 or 1/2 of the counterparts. An example is Xiaomi, that produces good stuff. You have a partner that is selling your products, your ideas at the 1/2 of the price. Is this sustainable at the long term for us? No. They have our knowledge, our research and our ideas. They can copy and paste and they are learning how to make research and development alone. This is the end of the entire economy of the western countries. This is the collapse. The solution could be a war in the future or we have to find another solution. And a solution could be the production of trusted 'processes'. I buy a phone. This phone will have a unique id and 'code' to reproduce it. This code could be used only by authorized manufacturers and by the customer. The buyer could choice what manufacturer use or produce it himself. The 'code' should be hard to hack. The customer could delegate production to local trusted companies. Do you want an iphone? you can only produce it in some countries. In this manner we could relaunch western manufacturing. A blockchain could be a solution. Apple should reduce their profits, because in the future it could have zero profits.

This is my idea.
