Some people here don’t understand that trump is using the tariffs to force chi a to reach a fair trade deal, the problem is not only the slave work, the Chinese have been playing dirty for decades, forcing companies thar produce in China to give up their technology, and then using it with their own products at half the price, and those are just a few examples of what China has been doing. If China is not willing to play fair I think companies should move to India or Vietnam, yes it’s a long process, we the costumers will pay, but how long will the world let the Chinese do as they please?

Shouldn't just solely trust India or Vietnam either since the former is bound to be influential and the latter is a command economy but since each of them only has half the things that make China a threat I guess it just only makes them half of as bad ... 

Should also open production in Indonesia, Philippines but in general we should just target smaller South East Asian countries like Thailand, Myanmar, or Malaysia so that it would be as hard as possible for them to reverse engineer technology ... 

I have a feeling that either India or Vietnam could potentially become bitter enemies in a technological war ... 

No one is saying to solely trust India or Vietnam.  So let's not turn this into a strawman argument.  This whole principle here is to have several viable options.  No one should feel circumstantially forced to rely on a single source for inexpensive goods whether it's quality or not.  Yes, what is happening with China can happen with India or Vietnam one day.  But it's happening to China NOW so that's what we are dealing with.  If this forces foreign companies in the U.S. and U.S. companies to later become more self-reliant, we all will win by not letting a few countries corner certain economic sectors.
