I'm also interested in this - is anyone working on it?
I know that in Australia we have Rode Microphones, who brought manufacturing onshore over 15 years ago and (according to this article at least) no longer import any Chinese parts except for some shockmounts. Also worth noting that since they brought production onshore, part rejection rates fell from 50% to less than 3%:
While it's nice to have microphones, it seems more critical infrastructure parts need to be made here. Apparently China completely dominates the world production of solar panels and solar parts, and I can't think of much that is more critical than power generation & supply:
I wouldn't know where to start with any of this myself (nor would I be the right person to do it), but I often think that if I changed careers, working in that area might be a direction I would look into. I love software but it is useless without the actual hardware devices it runs on.
