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).
Yup, it does sound like him. But I genuinely believe that his goal is manufactories beelining to USA, and that doesn’t seem too likely for me.
I’ll go further. My headcanon is that Trump didn’t come up with this idea; someone else did, and carefully led Trump to it. That person knows that the manufactories won’t go to USA, but they don’t really care - they benefit from USA being economical and politically isolated, perhaps even at its population having decreased living standards.
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.

outside of china tho
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.
sounds like trump to me

EDIT: or, summed up in a single picture.
