Apple and the trade war

Today (09/01/2019) another 15% tariff is added to many core Chinese goods. It would affect the consumers. 

Apple was asked to move their manufacturing outside China. If it is moved to another low-wage country such as Vietnam, it would add to our trade deficit; Vietnam is not going to buy our products as China is doing. After years of supply chain implementation, Apple will be hard to do so besides the availability of rare earth elements, the huge Chinese market and the help of the Chinese engineers. Time to short Apple?
