After Trump wins, will the Iphone and other American products be made in the USA instead of China?
Trump said that China will pay. He will slap 100% tariff or 200% or whatever it takes till everything is made in the USA by American workers.

So you have no problem with SLAVERY?

Apple's suppliers in China use thousands of displaced Uighurs for labour, according to a new report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
The report is wide-ranging and focuses on a coordinated government campaign to move and displace Uighurs, a Muslim minority found mostly in Xinjiang province. The report estimates that between 2017 and 2019 some 80,000 Uighurs were forcibly transferred to work in factories across China.
The relocation programme is part of the Chinese government's broader persecution of the Uighur minority, which is predominantly Muslim. Over 1 million Uighur people in Xinjiang have been imprisoned in detention camps, and the government has launched a program paying Chinese men to sleep with Uighur women which was described as "mass rape" by one Uighur activist.
Although the report highlights that the displaced Uighur workers are present in many different companies' supply chains including Nike, BMW, and Amazon, Apple features prominently as a case study.
ASPI found evidence of forced Uighur labor at four separate factories in Apple's supply chain including the Foxconn Zhengzhou facility — a massive factory known colloquially as "iPhone City" that employs up to 350,000 people and produces over half of the world's iPhones. Totalling the figures from ASPI's report, at least 2,700 Uighur people have been transferred into Apple's supply chain since 2017.
Do you think a country that competes with the United States by using SLAVE LABOR should be allowed to get away with it?

@BohemianBabe Once again you should the disadvantages of being socially promoted in an inferior blue state public school system. Nobody suggested that China would be paying the tariffs. Companies like FoxConn barely pay workers.
So I guess you're okay with American companies and retailers getting a nice little break with CHINESE SLAVE LABOR.
Explains why you DemoNazis fought the Civil War to maintain American slavery.

@sree251 Part of the USA's problem is because it positions itself as 'boss of all bosses' (to quote Alex of Northridge Fix) in the world, it has the highest military spending of almost all other nations bar this week's flavour of Russia/USSR combined. How can that work? Easy if nearly all the industrial production is offshored to another country where labour is cheap.
