Oh? I thought Trump was losing the tariff "war"?

You mean the MSM and the body politic would lie ?

Shocking... Not.



A growing wave of Chinese manufacturers are packing up and moving to the United States under the weight of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods.

Trump’s tariffs have made it too expensive for many Chinese firms to export goods to the United States, forcing companies that once thrived on cheap labor in Asia to set up shop in places like Dallas, Houston, and Reno, according to the South China Morning Post (SCMP). For some, it’s the only way to stay in business.

The United States accounts for nearly 95% of our orders. It’s not a market we can afford to lose,” Ryan Zhou, who runs a novelty gift business in eastern China, said, as reported by the SCMP. Zhou is opening a new facility in Dallas next month as a result of a 90% tariff on Chinese shipments to the United States.

Zhu Ning, a consultant who advises Chinese firms on overseas expansion, says he’s handled more than 100 relocation inquiries in the last four months alone, a level of interest that was unheard of before Trump’s tariffs kicked in, per the SCMP.

These are not American companies coming back, but they are Chinese companies coming in to the United States for the first time. For years, they undercut American workers by exploiting loopholes and subsidies, leading to an influx of cheap goods and synthetic goods. Now they are scrambling to stay afloat.

“The goal is to survive — and stay competitive,” said Leo Li, who just opened a sensor module assembly plant in Nevada, Business Standard reported. “Our costs will rise, but not as much as they would with the tariffs.”

How does this work out to be a good deal for them? They're still going to have to pay corporate taxes and likely to face more regulation.

However, if Chinese owned companies generate significant profits, the U.S. government could collect billions in additional revenue annually. I hope they realize they can't use cheap labor like they do in their homeland. However, this move could bolster job creation and consumer spending. All positive for the country.

Swapping Chinese workers for Mexicans and Salvadorians 🤔
 
Btw: trump should demand 50% US ownership of the joint venture just like China does to western companies operating there

Wait till they get here and nose-ringed tatooed Karen tries to make them do it her way.
 
Obiden kabal dangled Wafer fab money but not many wanted to take it with all the DEI crap buried into the requirements. What a screwed up 4 yes? 12 yrs if you include purple-lips.

Hey China, don't move into CA. You can't do your stuff there.
 
Trump did this with the minerals deal with Ukraine. It's a good strategy. We get a piece of everything.
And the US investors have to be vetted also before being approved

I recently ordered two coin counting machines from Alibaba. The shipping costs were minimal. I asked the agent why. He said they're being shipped from the US. Outstanding job, Mr. President!!
 
1) Labor has little to do with why companies move to China. Very little. Very, very, very VERY little. Next to nothing, in fact. Chinese labor is, as a matter of fact, a hindrance to companies wanting to escape the lunacy of trying to do business here. dims won't understand that because -- They're the problem.......

2) A lot of those 'Chinese' Companies are actually owned and operated by Americans. And, to a lesser extent, Europeans. Moving out of China is an opportunity, not a problem, for most of them.

3) China is going to lose this Tariff War. Bigly. We're basically their only major market. The Euro-Weenies and the Japanese are very protectionist. Worse than the Chinese are. And teh Russians don't have any money because -- They're Russians. :dunno:

So we're all China's got. If they sit down and talk to OMB and they do it like adults instead of like entitled socialist scumbags, they will come to a mutually beneficial agreement. Without any doubt. Problem is, there's still a lot of socialist scumbags in the Chinese heirarchy and Xi has to deal with them one way or another.

China today is a Technocracy, a State-Run Capitalist economy with a stupid, backwards, ignorant and regressive communist society run by stupid, backwards, inbred communists and socialists. A Purge is needed.

Xi has to overcome that. Will he? I think so but it won't be easy.

And No or very few H1b chinese employees

Well, that is all well and good so long as these chinese manufacturers here are not buying up land and property and are paying taxes and creating jobs for everyone. Keep in mind that there are probably zero US manufacturers operating in China as US operations, I believe US companies simply contract with china to make stuff for us there (check me if I am wrong), the other issue that worries me is that all chinese companies there are state-owned, which is like inviting your enemy to invade you.

I don't trust China one bit, they are very opportunistic, and take advantage of every situation, so if we are letting china move manufacturing to the USA, I hope it is on US owned property with US labor, and with heavy supervision and restrictions.

I'm sure it's changed but the way they used to do it was: You rent the factory space, the workers, the machinery, etc for a period of time. If you want a gadget or a piece of equipment, or an electrical or steel piece made..... You rent time and space in the factory that does that.

You are responsible for obtaining raw, and other, materials and quality control. The workers are supposed to be trained in what you want but -- Yeah, right. Once your lease period is up, you're out and they start re-tooling for the next customer.

If what they made was garbage, that's your problem. If they didn't make enough, that's your problem, if there were cost overruns, that's your problem, if you can't sell your 100,000 Sham Wows, that's your problem.

I was offered a job to go to China as a QC guy. Turned it down without blinking. The workers, while not unintelligent, think differently than you or I. Had an instance where a sealed electrical product came in 12 ounces over weight, so they started drilling holes in it to lighten it up. :eusa_doh: Other things that would blow your mind. And the idea of living on white rice and marinated, uncooked duck didn't appeal to me. Had a guy almost die from getting a duck bone stuck in his throat. 4cereal. They don't bone it, they chop it, bones and all. Plus, I've never, and will never, master chop sticks. Dumbest, most backward, stone age, stupid instrument in history that should have been forgotten centureis ago. They always try to grow one fingernail extremely long. Usually on the small finger so they can use it to cut and shred meat.

But like I said, my knowledge is dated so I'm sure things changed. Or not

The Chinese own everything in China. They're communists. You can rent there, you can contract there, but you can't really own there. They own it. All of it.

As to them buying property, etc in this Country? Let them. If we get into a pissing contest with them and they want to leave, they ain't taking that 100,000 acres with them. Or the Skyscraper.

Let them spend their money here
 
How the Chinese get their workers is very simple.

First off, they're not 'slave' workers. What happens is -- There's a lot of poor, really poor, dirt poor people in China living in Pig Shit and with no hope of a future for themselves, much less for their children.

So a young man sees that, is offered to work in a Chinese Factory. The contract is for 5 years and the factory feeds them, clothes them, provides housing and education for them and promises them a lump sum when they leave in 5 years.

This money will give a dirt poor Chinese fellow the opportunity to buy a few (very few) acres of land, take a Wife and start a family. Without that money, he would end up -- God only knows where, but it wouldn't be pretty.

At first, they live in barracks. During training, etc. As they learn and become productive, they graduate to 4-Man apartments, then to 2-man apts, then to -- Whatever. Some stay as full-time but not that many. Some extend their contract. But slave labor is a thing of the past for the most part. There might be some in Xinjiang Province. Most likely is but overall, not a whole lot countrywide.

Idk about Chinese building much here, man. They got their own land and resources n stuff.
I really am not keen on foreign entities spoiling the ones I'm used to. And then there's their industrial espionage.
