"...tariffs only work to reshore production where there is a lot of careful planning, diligent data-collection, and review. Governments have to provide credit to key firms to get them capitalized, provide incentives, and smack nonperformers around. Basically, this is the stuff that Biden did for renewables with the energy sector, and – to a lesser extent – for silicon with the CHIPS Act."

> it sounds like an economic "perpetual motion machine"

This idea rests on the #NeoClassical assumption that economic energy pours into a country's economy from the outside. But that's only true to the degree that the country imports stuff from outside. #FreeTrade Suppression Treaties (PR name "free trade agreements") often have clauses preventing #ImportSubstitution to force countries to import more stuff, whether they need it or not, and thereby, force them to export more.
