Buying from China


What do you think the impact will be in buying gear from China in the near future. Will the parts supply chain be depleted. Will part s other then those specify be substituted.? Will wait times for electrics will be extended. I can get pretty paranoid about it. Interested in the options of those with better insights. Should I wait awhile until things settle down befor I place my next order? I imagine things are going to be tough for the small hi end audio manufacturer.

I am guessing this it is not about personal equipment purchases.

would you please clarify for me and others:

are you a manufacturer, talking about needed ’parts’ orders?

are you a re-seller of completed products?

Are you concerned about delays in receiving parts or products?

In any case, when you order, isn’t the price held?

Will President Trump’s promotion of ’made in america’ influence/reduce purchase of Chinese (other foreign) products?


OK, laugh, I go for 'One World'

but, I've lived thru a few 'buy america', 'made in america' campaigns. Typically short lived, they do influence buyers of finished products for a while, down at the more affordable, more consumer level. 

If volume of parts in those products drop off, there will be impacts implied by the OP.

I am unable to laugh about anything in these political times.

Don't forget, long before China, Japan was already crushing a great deal of manufacturing, until multi-nationals began building factories anywhere cheap labor could/can be found, not just China. They move them at will.
