wait they are going to move manufacturing out of china? isn’t that what the tariffs were supposed to do? shit
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).
Yeah you don’t want to move to the country doing the tariffs, because everyone will tariff them back. Better to move to one outside of them like Malaysia or Vietnam.
