A 50% tariff does not affect attractiveness. You did not address the core issues, as the tariff will hide it. What will happen is free market economy at play: As the issues are hidden behind tariffs/protectionism, the US will keep falling behind China until you are significantly behind that you can't catch up. Then you become a real third-world country.
Economic philosophy always ignores the real humans who will exist regardless what cherry picked economic markers indicate.
Reality will never care about any human philosophy. Humans will invest agency in interesting things regardless of some model in a vacuum anyone can conjure. Finance is has something very in common with religion; something humanity has zero obligation to perpetuate.
You have no idea what you’re talking about because we’ll just “fix” the philosophy to align with the reality. Trying to “fix people” to serve the philosophy is not happening.
I dunno, my wife works in commodity management and the number of companies she's helped get out of China lately is staggering and they've straight up begged her not to move at times. Begged. I can't imagine how this looks higher on the food chain.
