Good point.......................
So far nobody has else come up with another action idea to counter what is going start in a few days from today, or anytime thereafter.
Optiboard and a very few others, are your only instant and direct communication means left on the internet, at a time when such a means is of the highest value.
As of next Monday July 2, 2018 we can expect to hear, that the merger has been completed or will happen anytime now, and read and experience a new way, to sell eyeglasses to the public, in massive worldwide, news and advertising campaigns.
The official change of optical eyeglass retail sales, is going to happen over the next few days !

If China would pull a Trump as you say .............the counter move by the French/Italians could also threaten to pull out all of their manufacturing in China and move it to another location.

Lensmaker has farsighted vision
By Shi Jing in Shanghai | ChinaDaily | Updated: 2018-02-13 09:54
We entered China In 1995. Now, 800 million Chinese people need vision correction but only a few hundreds of them have really corrected their vision. The biggest vision issues in China is myopia. To that end, our first purpose in China is to enlarge our capacity of production. That's why we have done a number of partnerships in the past few years.

Yes it would .............................
A price increase at the manufacturing level in today's business world will translate into a higher cost to the end user. Depending on the product type and multiplier used, as well as through how many hands it goes before reaching the end user.
In the optical retail, which has used and enjoyed one of the higher markups for the last 200 years because of the high level of lens breakage cost when they were still made in glass.
In the newest wave of optical eyeglass sellers on the internet
the largest block is owned by the world's largest two optical manufacturers which are expected to merge at the end of this month, July 2018, and their pricing hike would be minimal to even make a difference on the retail level.
