They will just move those shipments to somebody else. Only a loss temporarily.

Not so sure. They already sell to everyone they can. If a China size market disappears you will feel it.
All they have to do is ship it to EU, and from there Ship to China. Or some similar route. There are easy work arounds to logistics.
I believe Ireland is a great trade route for bypassing many regulations.

If it's made in china, china have a ton of it, all the compaines put their eggs in that basket and china's production is massively ahead i'm sure they are making extra on a line the rest of the world will never see.
So until everyone decides to jump ship like they do to somewhere else now china's wages are going higher then it solves nothing and in truth wouldn't change anyway.

It is not just wages that make cheap production in China. All the facilities are clump togeather. Components are made just down the street from where they are assembled. Raw materials are stored locally. Also there are decades of investment in fabs. It takes 5+ years for a fab to be operational. Also even if companies start to make chips somewhere else shipping the rest of the stuff all around the world is a nightmare.

I do understand but it's simple your have a lazer cutter for say sheet metal in a factory in the west maybe a hand full, but in china your have a factory the size of a fooball stadium filled to the brim with them.
Yep thats the major issue. My home town port talbot has steelworks bleeding cash in the millions every month. Its cheaper to buy from China, and ship it that buy in the UK.
And when workers are working 12hour shifts for or 5 days a week, they begin demanding ever increasing salaries (which is justified) but it just makes matters worse for British steel.
