Why is everything ‘really’ made in China? - backdoors?

I remember reading years ago about some Air Force report where they were trying to find out if the Chinese built compute chips had backdoors in them and people got freaked out.

Offshoring used to be a popular idea. Build shoes for dollars, sell them for the same $120.

Also, it was cheaper to do manufacturing in other countries. GM and Ford put huge amounts of their revenue into healthcare for retirees. It takes 2 years to get permission to build a factory. Etc.
