You may be right about this particular instance. Do you have evidence the factories will still be owned by China? From what I can tell they are using Foxconn so that is not the case.
Samsung also exited from China as will many more companies. Corporations have been exiting China for awhile now because manufacturing prices are lower elsewhere. They also get sweet deals from governments doing this and in a lot of ways it is predatory in nature as they will leave Vietnam if it is more profitable somewhere else in the future.
Honestly I’m tired of the Chinese slave labor. My phone battery life is terrible. Plus, they didn’t even add removable batteries so I could swap it out. Geniuses, can’t take the battery out if you don’t put in a back cover 🙄
Can’t have the ccp getting into googles spy game…
That’s not why. Slave labor in Vietnam and India will be cheaper.
I was being ironic as both are mass surveillance apparatuses.
The only correct answer. China has gotten too expensive. It is all about money.
neither of you are right…it’s about tariff avoidance. The factories will still be owned by China.

Why would Google care about tariffs when the money will inevitably be funneled toward them anyway?
Luckily they informed you of all of their plans and reasonings and we have you here for to tell us all of how the world works.

The two problems you are reporting are result of Google bad design, not chinese manufacturing
The comment was a joke.
