It becomes really inconvenient when you have outsourced so much of your manufacturing there. Who is going to make your stuff then? (Maybe something we should have thought of before this, but then China took a turn towards more authoritarian under the current CCP chairman.)
- incrudible 6y agoChina is now itself outsourcing to cheaper countries, because Chinese labor has become expensive. Supply chains become flexible when the incentives are there. I think the Trump tariffs were on the right track, but for the wrong reasons.
- insulanus 6y agoYes, the Trump tariffs show that there are one or two things that China will respond to. It seems unlikely that the US or the EU will want to pay the cost in the short term.
