They are awesome partners to the manufacturer I work for. And Jen Sen is a trip and a half! 
We have to do something to alleviate the chip tariffs. We are the only manufacturer of our product that manufacturers in the USA and exports globally. That 25% is killing us. Add in that many are made in TW and the conflict with China right now . . .
We are screwed if they go to war in any way, shape or form. China Customs Authorities are making TW manufacturers change their country of origin from Taiwan to Assembled in Taiwan - or they won't let their products out. Not just us - consider how many chips are in a Tesla vehicle.
