So much manufacturing is sent to China, it doesn't seem like a big step to just keep those lines running after the sale and then keep some for yourself and then reverse engineer it.

So, what secrets? America voluntarily sends information on a regular basis.

Look at chip manufacturing. Sure, the Chinese are actually creating the chips, but the technology to make the laser heads that print the chips are where the truly valuable information and engineering lie. Not as easy to backwards engineer even though they’re technically printing all of the chips people use around the world.
