The cost of movement of goods and the flattening of labor cost differentials. The advantage of manufacturing in China is around 5% now, as fuel costs go up, Chinese workers demand fair wages and the general business environment gets more expensive.
Outright regulation could stop this, just as regulation allowed this. The US Congress could vote to not renew NAFTA and these other "free" trade agreements.
