This is a known issue with tariffs, so "governments" are on the lookout for it. It's risky, and there are consequences if you get caught.

There were however reports of Chinese companies actually setting up production in e.g. Thailand. The products are more expensive then, so it doesn't actually change anything - at least it was like this before the introduction of the one billion gagillion tariffs.

not just an issue with tariffs, but with sanctions.

Guess how many companies suddenly popped up in places like kazakhstan importing electronic components and other us-sanctioned products, and then selling it to russia.

Not too many. The Chinese are not shy about selling sanctioned components directly.
