Working Headline
Lead with the counter-intuitive puzzle
Core Thesis & Empirical Hook
Clear assertion grounded in quantitative tension

Data Source & Provenance
Concrete public/proprietary records
Causal Mechanism
Why is this happening? (avoid passive description)
Tariff avoidance incentivized final-stage assembly relocation while Tier-2 and Tier-3 semiconductor subcomponent routing remains anchored in regional clusters.
Counter-Argument & Stress-Test
The strongest rebuttal and why it falters
Advocates argue domestic subsidies will achieve component substitution within 36 months, yet capital lead times in silicon packaging average 5 to 7 years.
