American re-sourcing of materials, processing and manufacturing to places other than China is going to happen very quickly.

Even if a satisfactory US-China trade deal is eventually negotiated, businesses are now aware of the risk and will never operate without non-China alternate suppliers being available.

No business can afford the risk of being disrupted by sudden unpredictable adverse conditions with one particular foreign government.

Even if the alternate supplier is more costly, large businesses always direct part of their buying to the alternate suppliers in case they suddenly lose their primary supplier.
