“Let’s transfer all of our production to a country with crumbling infrastructure and the potential for riots lasting several months, where the political system is in the process of shitting itself to death and half of the population reacts to a crisis by pretending it isn’t actually happening and threatens to kill the other half for saying otherwise. That’ll make supply more secure.”

What said managers don’t get is that a lot of Chinese factory workers for international goods are migratory, with their families living inland while they live in dorms most of the year. It’s the only time they get to really see their families.
It’s less of a “don’t get” and more of a “don’t care.”
