but in practice what happens is that businesses move their outsourced manufacturing to the next cheap labour market rather than bring them "home"

From what I recall, the PRC were eager to move the lower-class manufacturing jobs to various stable African states for that very reason; only the Global War Of Terror aka the Gumbo War of Terror destabilized a good many of those previously stable African states and now they can't.
