Well at least for Apple and China, that is.

Can't wait to hear what kind of lie trump will make up about this.

Oh yeah, another example of f**e news.

Did you read the full article?

Apple is moving some production out of China and just this one into China... It will still use components produced in the US... The article mentioned that it was only the China plants that have been affected by tariffs...

Apple is a global corporation now... And has a huge market in Asia and India... It makes perfect sense to produce the finished product there...

Yes, read the WHOLE article. If you don't, you may miss some of it's key points.



Of course that little tidbit was at the top of the article. Notice how they ARE moving production of the Mac Pro TO China but only CONSIDERING moving some production of other devices/components OUT of China and no word on WHERE that production will be moved to, IF it is even moved.

A tad later in the article it states:



Much of the components of Apple products come from a companies based and/or manufacturing these components elsewhere in the world, many in Asia with some of the companies ALSO producing some components in the U.S. as well as elsewhere. Of the 9 hardware suppliers I located for components used by Apple, 4 are American companies, the remaining 5 are from, Switzerland - 1, S. Korea - 1, China -1, and Japan - 2. Of the 4 American components manufacturers, at least 3 of them have manufacturing facilities elsewhere in the world besides just in the U.S., the last one is uncertain. This helps explain why manufacturing in China is so attractive to Apple Corp.

And if you failed to read the entire article, you could have missed this little tidbit:



Then you wouldn't know that China may lose the production of the Mac Pro as well as The U.S. has, it could go to Ireland next maybe.


All in all, NOTHING in that article is any certain good news for we Americans, we may get jobs brought back in, we may not.

There is no corporate entity that owes any loyalty to any nation... With the possible exception of Huawei... Scary...

True, and this is why American companies outsourcing jobs get less respect from me than foreign companies keeping jobs in the country they are based in. American companies keeping Jobs in the U.S. get the most respect from me of course. I like American products made by American companies, made in the U.S. with American materials/components the best, followed by foreign products made in the U.S., followed by foreign goods made in their own country and lastly, American products made in other countries. Of course that is if all things are equal, if the quality isn't there, then it affects the order. Without quality, price and origins are of no consequence.
