Shenzhen is at least the third manifestation of the electronics hotspot, after Akihabara and before that Radio Row: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Row

It definitely seems like once some of the factors you mention come into play these things lose momentum and move. Paul Krugman did some very interesting work on economic geography, with one result being that the leading region for a given sector will have a huge margin over the second player, so being in top position is very valuable.

Since the overall topic of this thread is "world trade destroying American electronics/manufacturing", this is especially ironic:

"Radio Row was torn down in 1966 to make room for the World Trade Center." (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Row#Demolition)
