‘Stop production': Small US firms hit by tariff changes
WASHINGTON: When US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on almost all trading partners in April, Ben Knepler contacted the factory in Cambodia producing his company's outdoor furniture. 'Stop production,' he ordered. The announcement involved a 10% levy on imports from most partners, set to rise further for many of them. For Cambodia, the planned duty was a staggering 49%. 'That night, we spoke to our factory,' Knepler told AFP. 'We literally cannot afford to bring our own product into the US with that kind of tariff.' The decision was even more painful for Knepler and his Pennsylvania-based company True Places, given that he had previously shifted production of his outdoor chairs to Cambodia from China, following tariffs on Chinese imports imposed by Trump during his first presidency. 'We were facing 25% tariffs in China, and there were 0% tariffs in Cambodia,' Knepler recalled. It took him a year to move the massive equipment and molds to Cambodia only to see another steep levy. With Trump's 'reciprocal' tariff hikes taking effect last Thursday, these Cambodia-made chairs face a lower – though still significant – 19% duty. Knepler's experience echoes that of many US companies producing everything from yo-yos to clothing abroad, after years of offshoring American manufacturing. To cope, businesses use various strategies. Some pass on the new costs as a surcharge to customers. Others halted imports when duties reached prohibitive levels, hoping Trump would strike bilateral trade deals that would make their businesses viable again. Trump frames his tariffs as paid for by other countries, touting tens of billions in revenue this year – but firms contest this description. 'We make the tariff payments when the product comes into the US,' Knepler stressed. 'Before we sell it, we're the ones who pay that tariff.' Now saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt he took on to relocate the company's production to Cambodia. He likens the rapid policy changes to spinning a 'wheel of misfortune,' resulting in a new tariff each time. Over four months this year, the planned tariff rate on Cambodian exports has gone from 0% to 49%, to 10%, to 36%, to 19%, he said. 'No one knows what it's going to be tomorrow,' he added. 'It's impossible to have any kind of confidence in what the rate will be in three- or four-months' time.' Economists warn that tariffs could fuel inflation and drag on growth. EY chief economist Gregory Daco noted that the duties effective Thursday raise the average tariff rate to 17.6% from 2.8% at the start of the year – the highest level since the early 1930s. While Trump lauds the limited effects his duties have had on US prices so far, experts say tariffs take time to filter through to consumers. Many of Trump's sweeping levies also face legal challenges over his use of emergency economic powers. Barton O'Brien said he accelerated production and borrowed money to bring in as much inventory as possible before Trump took office. On the election campaign trail, the Republican leader had floated a 60% tariff on imports from China, where O'Brien makes most of his products. The Maryland-based veteran selling dog harnesses and other accessories rented a container to ship as many products as he could before Trump's new tariffs would take effect. There is 'no way' to produce domestically, he said, adding that comparable US-made products sell for nearly six times his retail prices.

DIGITIMES ASIA: Asia's moment in the AI age: APAC rises as infrastructure powerhouse at OCP, Taiwan forges global tech ties
TAIPEI, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As AI infrastructure continues to reshape global supply chains, the Open Compute Project (OCP) APAC Summit held in Taipei on August 5, 2025, highlighted the Asia-Pacific region's expanding role in the development and deployment of open hardware technologies. Speakers from the OCP Foundation and Taiwan's tech industry emphasized the region's growing contributions to AI data center infrastructure and its significance in future technology roadmaps. Cliff Grossner, Chief Innovation Officer at the OCP Foundation, opened the summit by calling APAC an 'extremely vibrant community,' noting that participation from the region's corporate members has reached record levels. 'Thirty percent of our corporate members now come from APAC,' he said, highlighting that the region accounts for nearly 40% of OCP-certified data center-ready facilities and 28% of its experience centers. APAC emerges as OCP's growth engine Grossner pointed out that Asia's engagement with OCP goes far beyond attendance or certification—it's increasingly a source of technical leadership. Over the past year, 20% of contributions to OCP projects included an APAC-based corporate member. APAC is also the dominant marketplace for future infrastructure spending: IDC projects that 36% of the over US$190 billion in OCP-related equipment spending will come from this region. Grossner credited this surge to the region's urgent push to deploy scalable AI data center solutions, a need being accelerated by government policy, hyperscaler investment, and hardware innovation. He also confirmed OCP's plans to return to Taipei in 2026. 'It's because of you that I can make that statement,' he told the audience. 'We'll be back next year.' While Grossner framed APAC as an emerging tech engine, DIGITIMES Chairman and CEO Colley Hwang provided the local blueprint. Taiwan anchors global tech manufacturing In a keynote titled 'AI Supply Chain Reinvent: Building a Better Eco-System,' Hwang argued that Taiwan is no longer merely supporting the global tech industry—it is quietly anchoring it. 'Taiwan has the best infrastructure in the world for the tech sector,' Hwang said, pointing to a vast web of factories, suppliers, and engineering talent that together form an ecosystem unparalleled in scale and integration. The data he presented reveals Taiwan's central role: Taiwan (China) is the origin of 26% of the US server imports and 40% of China's, even when final assembly occurs in countries like Mexico or Vietnam. TSMC now accounts for more than 90% of the world's AI chip production, placing Taiwan at the center of the AI compute stack. He also noted that Taiwan's economy is structurally distinct. While most advanced nations are demand-side driven, Taiwan's economy is 38% reliant on manufacturing, compared to just 10% in the United States. 'It's not about consumption—it's about capability,' he said. Hardware drives AI evolution Beyond hardware, Hwang highlighted Taiwan's design innovation strength, claiming that its design industry is ten times the scale of South Korea's, despite having less than half its population. Taiwan's top eight server manufacturers operate more than 120 production sites globally, reflecting a global manufacturing footprint built through decades of specialization. Hwang aimed popular Silicon Valley narratives, suggesting that while 'AI is eating software,' in practice, 'hardware will eat AI.' As AI workloads push the boundaries of memory, bandwidth, and heat, performance gains increasingly depend not on algorithms alone, but on foundry technologies, advanced packaging, and system integration. Taiwan's golden decade ahead Hwang also offered a broader perspective on the global semiconductor market, arguing that the true value of the ecosystem—when accounting for foundries, fabless players, equipment makers, and materials suppliers—already exceeds US$1 trillion, a milestone often underreported. Looking ahead, Hwang predicted that Taiwan is entering a 'golden age' lasting at least 10 years, driven by its manufacturing base, dense industrial clusters, and commitment to long-term reinvestment. He described Taiwan as a 'small potato' and a 'humble partner'—a role that emphasizes contribution over dominance. He urged global players, including OCP members, to 'come to Taiwan more often,' noting that firms like TSMC and Foxconn reinvest nearly 100% of their net profits into partnerships and infrastructure development. From APAC to the Global Stage Asia's impact on AI infrastructure is only just beginning. The conversation will continue at the upcoming OCP Global Summit, where global hyperscalers, open hardware pioneers, and policy leaders will shape the next phase of AI-driven innovation.
