I find it hilarious that their best plan is to build up another 1.5 billion country into a superpower

They literally have manufacturing facilities in the US as well due to the IBM acquisition. This article seems to gloss over the reality of them being globally diverse for a while.

HP and Dell manufacture more in PRC.

Yeah, there’s no evidence that this is because of tariffs. Companies don’t make big moves like this after only a week of changes.

What will happen is that the Chinese government will just take over manufacturing and plants and continue to make the same products under a Chinese name, the same way Russia rebranded a lot of companies that left then when the war started.

under a Chinese name

Lenovo is already a Chinese company. They're just moving production for US bound products somewhere else. I guarantee most of their production will still be in China.
