After the US-China tariff deal, will Chinese factories still need Southeast Asia?

Chinese manufacturers have historically used Southeast Asia to circumvent US tariffs on goods produced in China. However, a new US-China trade agreement proposes tariff reductions on a significant portion of Chinese products, including everyday consumer items like toys and household goods. This agreement, covering over 90% of a $30 billion list of goods, could diminish the economic advantage of manufacturing in Southeast Asia for some companies. The proposed tariff cuts may alter the strategic calculations of Chinese factories that have relied on this offshore production to mitigate trade tensions.
