If it can be any comfort, then fully automated factories will probably take more manual jobs than some low cost workers... In Europe there are already large scale automated factories that EXPORTS consumer goods (ex. furniture) to China.

It cost the same to transport goods on the world oceans - in theory its not cheaper to ship goods from China, than it is to ship goods to China.
