I think we're going to have to automate a lot more labor if we're really going to start manufacturing a bunch of stuff here, because nobody wants to work and those that do think their labor is worth a lot more than it is in a global marketplace.
Those that want an earth not impacted by humanity will have to get over the fact that mining battery minerals entails changing the earth.

If the reference is to China and their manufacturing power, it's not necessarily cheap labor that gives them the advantage. China as a whole has invested heavily in automation, allowing economies of scale and to undercut everyone else in their respective market.
So... you're right, generally; people don't scale.
