The administration has already placed levies on $250 billion in shipments. As corporate America braces for the outcome of the latest round of talks, some firms are already abandoning China in favor of the U.S., Mexico or countries in Southeast Asia, like Vietnam. GoPro The action camera company is moving the bulk of its production out of China to Mexico by mid-2019. It will still continue to manufacture its local products in the country. “Today’s geopolitical business environment requires agility,” GoPro CFO Brian McGee said in December. “We’re proactively addressing tariff concerns.” Hasbro The toymaker is shifting most of its production from China to Mexico, Vietnam and India due to Trump’s tariffs. Steve Madden The footwear and handbag maker, which ships the bulk of its goods from China, is shifting production to Cambodia. Executives at the Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based company previously said prices during the upcoming holiday shopping season would be higher as a result of the increased duties.

CEO Bob Swan in June told Bloomberg the company is reviewing its supply chain and whether production can be shifted out of China. “How do we move goods -- sometimes our customers will move their operations -- and how do we work the global supply chain so less product is coming directly from China to the US that would be subject to tariffs?” he told the outlet Read more: www.foxbusiness.com/economy/apple-black-decker-and-steve-madden-among-us-companies-moving-production-out-of-china-heres-the-full-list

Yep my company has a China exit strategy. Leaving China for Malaysia and of all places Vietnam and Taiwan ROC. Remind me again what them letters stand for. So we are leaving China for China Jr. Of course Mexico. Does anybody else here see what's going on? Do we have anybody here that works for industry and manufacturing companies? I'm tired of it. 5 years and I'm done. Been in and around manufacturing my whole life. It's not coming back.

Any condemnation of china would make trump out to be righteous in his trade war against the evil communists. They would never give anything that could swing even 1 vote to trump. Look at the USMC trade agreement...where are the news agencies calling for that to get before the house for passage? Fucking liberal lap dogs.

I read that post and wondered what the Corps did to get a trade agreement lfol! I will search for the article, but read that Chinese are amongst the regular detainees termed OTMs, other than Mexicans. Scary shit.
