"Important Shipping Update – Drop-Shipping Suspension Starting April 28 (CN Time)
We’ve received notice from VKB HQ in China that due to the upcoming end of the U.S. de minimis duty-free threshold (effective May 2), all drop-shipping from China will be temporarily suspended starting April 28 (China time).
This measure is being taken proactively to avoid unexpected customs duties or delivery issues as the new trade regulations go into effect."
Heard Razer pulled their laptops from US stores..

No one has committed to that, back up your words. Who?
75% who had bonds and sold them and no longer trust the usa. NO company can make ANY commitment when the future is unpredictable.
Nvidia already has a plant here, its not new.
This is hog wash.
It takes 2-6 yrs to move a company and dial it in again.

I live within 2 miles of 2 multi-billion dollar semiconductor plants opening this year. Nvidia did indeed say they will open 500 billion dollar plants in Dallas and Houston. Why so sad?

Is there an actual set of numbers that show what it would increase by if it was still shipable, or is it just chinese knee jerk fallout?

Don't read the news? All imports from China 145%... if the ship at all.

The long game is to inspire the rest of SE asia nations to fill the void left by china not shipping.

Its sold in other places that companies are moving to the US because of tariffs, they sold nvidia was moving here for same reason. Fact is as I stated, none committed to that move, nvidia has always had factories here, they are expanding not moving here from somewhere else.
Their expansions won’t be done within a year, unless its already in construction. Even then expect 2 yrs to be up and running. If its already built it just furthers my point tariffs didn’t drive it. This makes it irrelevant to the current pricing/tariff issue. Especially when what they are making probably isn’t consumed by the public. Jobs yes, parts for PCs not so much.
That said, most are moving to robotics over humans.

Honda is moving their production of Civics from Canada and Mexico to the US. Of course people in the US are accustomed to better salaries here than those in China, Mexico, and most other places. Naturally higher salaries mean higher prices. That is a price we must pay to move and keep manufacturing jobs here.

Honda confirmed yesterday that the report was inaccurate and that they are remaining in Canada:

No doubt there will be a lot of jockeying and negotiating in the coming months and years. Apart from being essential to an economy industry is also a national security issue for all nations.

You don't try to compete with cheap chinese crap by trying to sell cheap crap of your own.
You concentrate on makinig and selling better products.
Sadly, harvard, in addition to teaching stupid concerning campus behavior, they have also taught businessmen to try to compete with a nation of slave labor.
Morons.
-
A free country cannot compete with slave labor. If there is to be trade between them then tariffs can strike a balance.

Nvidia just took a $5.5 billion hit because they can’t send chips to China. Certain things need to happen for these companies to function properly.

Bad timing for china's leader indeed. He is stuck between a rock and a hard place as far as business goes.

Please explain. Confused why.

po·lit·i·cal
adjective
relating to the government or the public affairs of a country.
Obviously "tariffs" fall soundly into this category. Discussions of this type are obviously desired by some of the posters here. The prohibition of these goes back maybe 17 years? Another obviousity is the reason for this prohibition. Discussions of this nature inevitably become heated. That was/is undesirable by management. Enforcement may seem arbitrary since we have no feedback by the enforcers. This annoys people. Perhaps it annoys customers and potential customers less than the bickering usually found in political discussions. Perhaps not. My personal opinion is that direct personal involvement by the judges making clear what is and isn't acceptable would be less annoying. That horse left the barn though and may not be worth tracking down.
