I was thinking that if say Dell tried to move part of their production to a cheaper country (e.g Vietnam), they might meet some resistance from the PRC, in the form of threats, sanctions or whatnot. From what I've read, they value their manufacturing power very highly, and won't be open to the outsourcing thing, unlike the US.

But it would be a dangerous gambit, e.g. Dell could then move all its manufacturing out (Foxconn, their prime subcontractor (or so I gather) is making threats to that effect anyways right now as far as we can tell) and it would certainly deter a lot of future business from all companies.
