IMO, there is significance to the announcement that Apple is going to try and open a FoxConn type factory in Wisconsin. Combine that with a potential rare earth bonanza on/near Bundy ranch and I think we're going to be seeing essential tech return to the US.
The problem is that we (think) have the white hats in charge right now, so the marriage between tech and government can be used to root out the bad players…but safeguards have to be put into place.
Also remember that it was warned that essential tech might go offline/sabotaged, and that this exposure will rock everything to its core. We have to have existing companies in place to restore flow of information after the BOOM. Tim Cook seems to have an essential weakness that is, for now, being exploited for good.
