I have a friend who started a snowboard factory recently, in the USA, he was able to do this because of Chinese made CNC machines and presses that were half the price and had great support.

Now everything he needs from them to keep his factory going is going to be ridiculously more expensive, probably screwing over his business as well.

This factory wouldn't have got off the ground if it wasn't for Chinese made machines.
