Aren’t most American flags already made in China anyway?

Maybe, but probably less than it used to be; China's economy has kinda blown past that. They still manufacture a lot of stuff, but they're increasingly focused on more practical industries and domestic concerns than contracts from foreign companies.

For example, Dollar Tree pretty much exists because China is dedicated to manufacturing a baseline of affordable products for their working class so that nobody has to go without, even if they don't have the best quality of something, and they just make extra for export while they're at it.
