Blame China.
As though moving production to China wasn’t something the West did intentionally.
And now continues to push manufacturing out of Western countries by, for example in the UK and Germany, and Australia too, making electricity and gas so expensive it becomes cost prohibitive to manufacture much at all.
You forgot to mention embargoes against it. The US is free to sanction firms for their exports to China, but then shouldn't be surprised when China builds out domestic competitors.
