And people in those markets are set to make billions by importing cheep Chinese goods, placing them in packaging made in their country, and exporting to the US with a markup.
I already know it happens because I’ve done it at a factory here in the United States.
I worked for a plastic injection molding company and we would import cheap Chinese metal tools and parts, for example a garden hose sprayer, then injection mold a plastic handle around it that covered the “made in China” stamp and repackage it in boxes that said “proudly made in the USA”
This was all good and legal because the plastic handle and packaging were indeed made in the USA and our company didn’t consider them finished products without the handles.
