Doing any amount of supply chain and manufacturing diversification now is still an option expanding choice in the long run.

Why does the reason matter? Pulling production is pulling production.

We are better off letting companies quietly pull out than starting big rights that fundamentally hurt Western firms.

Let them quietly move towards the exits.

That’s a good point. If we assume the best of Tim Cook, he’d still be savvy enough not to announce “China sucks we’re moving to India” but rather the SPoF argument, and then one day, well we need to reduce capacity and for reasons XYZ (which are aha nothing to do with the CCP) we’re going to focus on India.

I support this if that is the intention, I was just speculating that the reason is just the points I mentioned and not Apple looking to calling it quits over some ideals.
