America's largest car exporter (BMW) moving to China because of tariffs

Drumcollie

* See DC's list of Kook posters*
And just like jobs in the past. They almost certainly not coming back

BMW moving some production to China, raising prices on SC-made SUVs in response to tariffs

MAGA in action !

Thanks Trumpies.
So BMW America which makes cars in South Carolina known as"Plant Spartanburg" is moving to china because the tariffs of importing cars to the U.S. is too high?

Apparently the SUV is made here also.

This has been a biggest fail by you lefties

Moving production that would have employed people here at that plant had it not been for your teabagger messiah's trade war.

WTF is wrong with you people. Did you not read the articles before you decided to shoot yourselves in the foot with your mouths ?

Your insults reveal your insecurity.
They already have a factory in the South Carolina to satisfy their American demand for their cars. They had to build another plant somewhere to satisfy the global increase in demand. They didn't choose to build their plant in the US. LOSING.
Sorry you take them as insults. I see them as observations. Despite the fact that the two factories ( or more ) will be on different soil they are still one company.

I work for a multinational....I think I'm probably a step up on you here.
You dont seem to understand how this works. Ergo the observations/insults.
I am fully aware of their facilities here
and why they feel the need to build elsewhere... It makes them stronger, not weaker.

I did mistakenly think that they were closing down here until I reread the piece.... No matter. It changes nothing.

The jobs you're talking about don't exist yet... Can't lose them because they're not and never will be here.

Ulitmately the company becomes more productive and that can only benefit what business they do here.

They're not building in China to escape a Tariff.... They're building there to cut the bottom line on labor even more. The Tariff excuse is red herring. I'll bet they're looking more at transport costs than Tariffs. Personally I think they, like my company are likely going to rue the day they set up shop there. Lots of nasty surprises.

In any case they headquarter in Munich I believe. So they owe us nothing to begin with. Like I said the Market share here is minimal.

I've been dealing with this for years.

So you are saying that they were lying when they said, they were moving the production because of Trump's trade war ?

They sure as hell won't be using American labor. Thanks Trump! You just cost American's jobs.
appears for every job lost, 3 are being created...…….unemployment is so low employers can't find employees...……….work force is at a 17 year HIGH

while you set and play in a fray on boss-mans dime...…...I'd fire your ass!

The in the article's first line BMW says it move production from SC to China specifically because of the tariffs. As in, had the trade war not been started by your teabagger messiah, that portion of the production would have remain in the US.

???? They are free to say anything they want....I seriously doubt that's the real reason but hey ..... I'm not them and it's not up to me to use the word liar. Tariffs are generally counterproductive, I'm not arguing that.... So when our predatory trading partners cut the thirty year old bullshit....maybe they'll all go away. When you punch back sometimes you scrape your knuckles. Beats just standing there and getting pounded.

As you did bush, but I never voted for any Kennedy. How about you and those bushies ?

Tell me you voted for Dukakis, or Clinton, or Gore or Kerry ?

Go on tell everyone that's who you supported.
only because you hadn't immigrated here when JFK ran

How were the election results for Dukakis/Gore/Kerry...and she pig Clinton………..:)
