The pissed part no doubt, but throw / close the factory i don't think so. 

Foxcon employed so many people in their factory, if all become jobless, it will be a nightmare for them. 

 

Many mainlander are now using more Huawei, OPPO and Vivo phone. 

Many switch from Apple as they find the product overpriced.

Export is the real deal that could hurt both of them.

jack ma warn china the trade war could go on for 20 years.

if that is the case, we definitely can make something in between,

for example, buy china product assemble/ repacking and sell US.

 

the risk is if go in too early,

investment all make already , 

then they shake hand again after trump left office.

Then will Taiwanese protest and complain against China again?

Similar to Starbucks, PRC uses Apple to show that they are high SES.

 

Only ppl who can’t afford Apple will go for cheaper PRC phone
