Maybe what we export is already saturated here, but a technological step above what's needed elsewhere to develop the economies that need them...no amount of money can cause those items to be manufactured in the markets that are importing them.
While unsaturated U.S. market segments need cheap goods so China makes electronic items and ships them here at a lower price than can be made domestically...often using the higher end equipment we exported to them.
Also...final assembly of an item is sometimes labeled as "made in"...even if all the parts that go in aren't from there.

According to this, the US exports integrated circuits, telephones, digital disk drives, electrical control boards, and semiconductor devices.
If this is the case, why are most of the electronics we see in the US made in Asia / China?
