Doubtful. Even with increased shipping rates, it's murderously cheap to make stuff in China and ship it via sea. Like, it's ludicrously cheap. My FIL works in the book industry here in town and it's literally 10X cheaper to print books in China and ship them here than it is to print them anywhere in Canada or the USA.
