I think some of the easy to move commodities like textiles that haven't already left China, will leave. The high tech stuff would be harder to move. I'm not a fan of the trade war but something drastic needs to be done to get China to do what they've said they're going to do especially intellectual property protections.

What many fail to realize is that most of the profit on a product is made on front end in the design phase and on back end on marketing and retail. The least profit is made in the middle in manufacturing so that's why we farm it out to other countries like China. This is known as the smile curve.
