  • Moving Apple's assembly out of China to avoid tariffs will take 'multiple years,' analyst ...

    I'm no Trump supporter but this policy is long overdue. When we allowed China into the WTO and they reneged on every promise they made to gain entrance their membership should have been revoked 20 years ago. But obviously there was too much money to be made by the 1% that really runs the world.

    Over the past 5 years the Chinese government's arrogance has been less hidden and its obvious that they see the US as an enemy and not just a 'strategic competitor'. We are fools to continue funding the growth of a country that is nearly certain to be on a trajectory that leads to a confrontation with us in the future. All US investment should be moved out of China as soon as possible. There are plenty of other options. Central America perhaps? There appear to be several hundred thousand Guatemalans looking for jobs in the US. Why not relocate supply chains to these countries and keep them in the same hemisphere? Hell, even Thailand, Vietnam or the Phillipines would be better options. None of these countries has an agenda to confront the U.S. militarily in the future as China so blatantly does.

    Hopefully Apple and every American company relocates all of its production out of this country as soon as possible.
