And if you build your tech in US, well, you are disadvantaged because you have to pay the tariffs on every component you import from China.

So it’s actually an incentive to build in China.

So is your component in the list from a comment below -

Then you don't pay the tariff.

Aluminum isn’t a component, but you would pay a tariff on importing it to build with it.

The other benefit of building in China is that you will get unrestricted access to Europe and other markets

Why is this downvoted? This is factual.

Electronic imports, no/low tariffs.

Import material to produce electronics, high imports.

It is incentive to somewhere you can get Chinese components without massive Chinese tariffs, can sell to the US without massive tariffs, and has cheap labour or tax incentives. Several countries will be sticking up their hand, if manufacturers take the gamble that the tariffs will remain for a long enough period.
