Here is the link.

I can see people buying GPU, send it to Mexico, and do the same, then export the chips to China. Since China is already offshoring their production to Mexico, the logistic chain is already there.

Probably depends on whether you're living in the States or not. If I were to do such a thing as an European citizen -Norwegian to be exact, then nobody could stop me. The US government could be however pissed they want, but they have no juristiction here, nor do my country extradict its own citizens. Neither does it usually acknowledge any US lawsuits, as they are... Extremely exagerated much of the time, and borderline childish. You can't sue people for serving you hot coffee here, or sue the owner of a house because you fell down the stair.

So in short, I can do whatever I want with my products that I have bought from an US manufacturer, and all they can do is watch me do it.

McDonald's and Corporate America as a whole love you for your loyalty and faith in their side of the story as you spread your disdain for dumb US citizens and their frivolous lawsuits about consumer safety like that pesky EU

I am proud to award you the title of honorary American. Keep it up, and day by day, you and people like you will help shift attitudes and make the EU more like US!
