Apple Makes Plans to Move Production Out of China

It seems like it's all going to plan but maybe a bit too quick?

You're a country with cheap manufacturing. Become the world's manufacturing hub for the higher tech design firms. Then as your economy ramps up, your education goes up, you start becoming more and more like those design firm based countries. At some point you switch over and find yourself a new country to base cheap manufacturing in. Say.. Africa?

So now, does the US and Apple, have a cheap manufacturing alternative? Does China?

What if the goal is bigger, to shift from a unipolar world dominated by US to a multipolar world?

There are countries with cheaper labor now than China; it seems like a large part of the appeal is having such a robust supply chain for everything you need nearby. That will be harder to replicate, although Apple has the resources.

This is still nothing compared to the slavery in America - we kidnapped people, tortured them and literally bred them so the cotton industry could flourish. If this is what it takes for a country to become a superpower, China is well in its way.
