Pandemic accelerates push to move supply chains out of China

The coronavirus pandemic has businesses and lawmakers intensifying efforts to move their supply chains out of China.

Businesses will never pull out of China completely since it represents too large of a market in itself to ignore. But the virus has put many businesses on notice that they need to diversify their supply chains. At the same time, President Trump and members of Congress are providing additional incentives by vowing to change trade rules to discourage Chinese sources.
