What is interesting about all this rhetoric against China is that it was US corporations that outsourced manufacturing from the US to China. China did not force those US corporations to do so. Why do we not hear criticisms of those US corporations, such as Walmart, Apple, Amazon, Elon Musk’s Tesla, Lionel Trains, etc., etc., etc?

Bring on that criticism.
If an American paper-pusher or fry cook pays more to buy American goods, then maybe Amazon and Walmart should pay for the space to stock them in warehouse or store.
But regarding our making stuff "only at the top of the value chain, where our innovation can compete":
For want of a nail, the F-35 was lost...
I remember walking around Home Depot, reading labels at random, and wondering just how far DOWN the value chain, from a finished aircraft carrier you'd have to go to find no American parts. It's beginning to look as though we'll find out soon enough. The last date I read was 2027. Don't worry, 2025 is probably a bit ahead of the realistic schedule
you are off on a tangent. These tariffs will cost Americans $15,000 to $20,000 more to buy an EV. Not commonly understood is that ALL vehicles will increase in price because of this legislation.
Even worse, this exercise in poor leadership pushes China into the arms of Russia — exactly what Kissinger was trying to avoid fifty years ago.
