    They were supposed to force those manufacturing plants to go to USA, but as the article shows it is not working:

    [AsRock] “As for the 10% tariff applied to other products like GPU cards, we need some time to transfer the manufacturing to other countries.” [emphasis on the plural]

    We already saw signs of this late last year, when PC Partner decided to relocate its headquarters from China to Singapore

    And they likely won’t move into USA territory because USA might create some tax against the governments they import raw materials from, labour costs are high, and all that talk about expelling illegal immigrants will make labour costs even higher (lower labour supply = higher prices).

        Yes and this might hurt China a bit, but it’ll hurt USA even more. It’s like shitting your own pants to make someone else smell it.
