Trump: Move to the US to avoid tariffs.
Tech companies: India it is!
- I find it hilarious that their best plan is to build up another 1.5 billion country into a superpower
- Which has the highest tariffs.
  
  Does it? India?
So trump won’t tariff India?
- Probably his brain is rotted and the last thing he remembers is that last thing someone told him.
- Why would he? India is no really a challenge.
  
  Yet.
  All it would take is for him to have a bad interaction with someone vaguely Indian and he’ll throw down a tariff.
  
  Yeah, because tariffs are only reserved to large competitors on the world stage like, check notes, Canada?
  
  Hahahahahahhahahahahaha

  India is no really a challenge.
  And Canada is?
  
  You're applying logic when logic doesn't apply. Why would he tarriff Canada?
They literally have manufacturing facilities in the US as well due to the IBM acquisition. This article seems to gloss over the reality of them being globally diverse for a while.
HP and Dell manufacture more in PRC.
- Yeah, there’s no evidence that this is because of tariffs. Companies don’t make big moves like this after only a week of changes.
What will happen is that the Chinese government will just take over manufacturing and plants and continue to make the same products under a Chinese name, the same way Russia rebranded a lot of companies that left then when the war started.
- under a Chinese name
  Lenovo is already a Chinese company. They're just moving production for US bound products somewhere else. I guarantee most of their production will still be in China.
Winning
These companies will never come back.
- Come back where? China?
  Come, not coke
