I wonder how these moves to Singapore affect the actual structure of these companies. Can they brand PRC-made products as Made in Singapore? I know the article said they're looking into Indonesian production but I'm curious whether the actual company ownership changes or whether it remains Hong Kong/PRC.

I can't speak for legal issues, but I highly doubt changing the marketing copytext around "Made in X" will fly when it comes to tariffs/sanctions.
I've heard it flies when it comes to cross shipping China-Mexico-US or China-Canada-US. I'm not on the Trump train that thinks US is the victim of the world, I'm thinking about this from the perspective of whether it's hard or easy to circumvent the current and incoming tariffs.
