      Tbh china did a pretty good job in incentivizing moving out the supply chain during covid, with a complete travel ban to everyone for so many years.

Many set factories in neighboring countries. For example I was surprised to get an ASRock motherboard made in Vietnam in 2022. Some iPhones are also made in India (and to catch a bird with two stones, get tax breaks from the Indian government)
