All I can say is Lotsa Luck.

I'm not betting on anything concerning defense and security.  Not 
after the company I used to work for was acquired and moved to China 
by the son-in-law of Deng Xaiopeng with Chinese military funding.  We 
were the only facility outside of Asia CAPABLE of making the the 
rare-earth magnets used in the guidance system servos for smart bombs 
and cruise missiles.  Two members of the Senate Select Committee on 
Intelligence tried unsuccessfully to stop the move.

Guess where the components come from now?  And I mean NOW, not 
sometime in the future.
