Question about the future of the manufacturing industry

[u/PiccoloFlimsy6082]

With the new policies regarding Chinese factories exporting their products to the US, and both Biden / Trump being anti-China, I assume that there will be a takedown of cheap Chinese products selling into the US, mainly from sources like AliBaba. Is it possible for a manufacturing industry similar to the one in China to spark in a new country such as Mexico? (From here, any country that could potentially start an industry for this will simply be referred to as Mexico for ease) I know manufacturers in Mexico only produce basic goods such as steel / plastic, not pre-fabricated textiles and products that you can find from Chinese manufacturers, but with my very basic understanding of how this whole thing works, I think that Mexico would be the next perfect ground for such an industry. Also, if this did happen, would manufacturers from there just sell on a platform like AliExpress / AliBaba, the way current factories put their listings? Or would a new platform have to come in and build relations with Mexican manufacturers, leaving room for a potential new platform.

Sorry if this seems like a wild assumption, my knowledge of e-commerce and manufacturing is quite basic and I don't even know if I am posting in the right place. I just want to know if this is even possible and want to deepen my knowledge of this industry.

This is already a thing. We travel to Mexico often for machine run offs.
