Tariffs push some US brands to consider moving factory work to China
The shift reflects changing “economic logic” for where companies can build products as tariff policy alters production costs and location decisions.
The New York Times reports that Trump-era tariffs are prompting some US brands to revisit China as a manufacturing location, reversing a trend in which many firms had sought alternatives.

The reporting focuses on how tariff-driven changes can affect factory site decisions for US brands looking for viable production locations.
