About 17 years ago I was working for a US automotive supplier that was starting a Chinese joint venture just at the advent of moving manufacturing there.

After 11 months of seeing the unethical behavior of the Chinese JV, I flew home from that China trip and resigned immediately.

Myself and a couple friends challenged each other to avoid buying anything Chinese for 30 days regardless of increases cost.

We all failed the 30 day challenge, it literally could not be done.

17 years later, it’s only worse.

I will say my current company was aggressively moving our supplier base out of China, honestly one of the most rewarding experiences of my career for the past 18 months.

Sadly, several of these supplier moves back to the US are on hold pending the 1st qtr of 2021.

My guess is they are going back to China.
