A new tax on goods from China is pushing companies to look at other places to make their products. The United States added a 10% tax on Chinese items on top of other taxes firms must pay.
PC Partner shows how businesses are changing their plans. The firm moved its main office from China to Singapore. Many other companies want to spread their work across different lands. They hope this makes them less open to sudden tax changes.
The extra tax means higher costs for making computer parts. Power units already face a 25% tax when they enter the United States. Companies must check if staying in China makes sense when costs keep going up. They think about small price rises to help pay these costs. But they fear losing buyers to other sellers if prices rise much.
ASRock plans to move some of its work away from China. The firm makes computer cards and other parts. It wants to make these in places with lower taxes. ASRock needs new ways to send parts between factories, which costs more money to set up. The firm might raise prices a bit to help pay for these changes, yet it knows other makers sell the same things at low prices.
These moves show how trade rules change how companies work. They must balance costs against the need to keep prices low for buyers. If taxes stay high, more firms might leave China.
