One of the reason the a lot US companies moved to Vietnam is to maintain their Chinese suppliers closer, this is going to totally kill a lot US companies if consumers and manufacturers don't pay for the tariffs.

I'm eager to see the investigation report. But it's gonna take months if not years for it finish. However you need to know more about how construction projects work. And avoid shaping the narrative that the Chinese side can never screw up. My take on this is that many sides are at fault, including the Chinese contractor. But when it comes to blame games, it is easiest to dump all the blame on that Chinese contractor.
Architects design. C&S engineers and contractors build. If there is a problem with the architectural design, it is sorted out at the design stage by consultant civil engineers before being signed off by them. Architects are the easiest side to be let off the hook. Because in modern construction, the burden of structural engineering have largely been moved to the consultants.
We don't know who the consultants are, and they very well could be non-Chinese. Usually the consultants will up-spec, to give themselves plenty of margin for safety, to protect their asses, and to keep their reputation. Usually it's the final building owner who would try to press prices down and pressure the contractor to cut corners. Use lower spec materials, build less safety items, compromised design, etc. If responsible, they would all check with the consultants to recalculate, and draw the line on how low they can go. Still, the building owner could also overrule the consultant. Or just as equally common, the contractor could cheat the spec. Maybe to earn extra margins, or give someone some kickbacks. This building is owned by the Thai government, so there could very well be corruption involved. So let's look out for the investigation results.

The problem is your pretending that you do.
And I do know how supply chain works, I am part of the supply chain, but I still wouldn't go around pretending I know specifics of any project I'm not involved in.
What does Madeleine suggest tho? Shld europe start polluting again?
Did the US officially support t4ow4n ind3pndnce?
You're so smart right? Then argue with me! Expose me that I'm pretending! Show me what you know about construction and engineering! Bring it on!
Why only write one liners and personal attacks? I've argued with many Jai Hinds. You behave like a Jai China fanboy.
You're the one who asserted you're part of this specific construction project, it seems to me you should be the one to prove that assertion is true. Until then, you're not part of this project and as such you have no ability to know what occurred on this project.
It's not that complicated.
Make no mistake though, these tariffs are a declaration of total trade war against China. Grabbing popcorn for the counterpunch, it will be beautiful
There is another issue, the US export cars, NOBODY outside the US is going to buy a car just because says "Made In USA" with a US flag IF doesn't come at the right price.
