Chinese suppliers generally earn low profit margin. My ex-employer, a company owned by Canadian, export from Shenzhen, earned 7% profit by creative accounting to minimise paying tax in China, then they sold upto 100% profit to other US retailers. The final retail price was 300% to 400% of the export price from China.

Chinese owned China factories generally only made around 10-15% proft due to local competition and price pressure from foreign buyers/merchandisers who deal direct with the factories on behalf of the importers.

Therefore if you cut off the middlemen in US, go direct to China to do your own sourcing, the cost saving is huge.
Yep this is why sky high tariff is actually better for China, the higher it goes the harder it is for the middlemen to operate, while there are actually little to no non Chinese competition on the supplier end.

Honestly IMO even if Trump surrenders China should keep export tariffs in place based on feedback from this period.

Speaking to "Joe Chang" who delivers your Big Macs and also delivers the Chinese food from the Lucky Dragon Restaurant doesn't count as "below ministerial-low level talks" with the Government of the People's Republic of China.Reality:Being totally ignored/shut out by China until reasonable/mature/intelligent heads are in evidence.The recession/depression is just around the corner and Trump is hoping XJP will "pull his orange ass out of the fire"-not going to happen.

This is why the Repanicans are in… panic. They’re losing the narrative. If MAGAts are commenting on TikTok, it’s because they feel they’re losing overall. Things are not going their way. And they’re especially angry that Americans are paying attention to Chinese in China lately. They have to go to the source to counter where before as many in the right have said, they don’t think Chinese people count in this world. They’re upset now because the people who they expect to say nothing, do nothing are doing something now.

Take a look at how the US looks like a house of cards now all because the Chinese are taking a stand just by telling the truth. It’s shameful just thinking about all the Chinese who think saying nothing… doing nothing is what’s best. You let the bully run the schoolyard and unsurprisingly when finally confronted, the bully shows how vulnerable and weak they really are. Their power is intimidation if you let them. Now they act like someone stripped them naked in public for everyone to see how they’re really not as masculine as they made themselves out to be… how they’re only wearing a dildo.

These very same MAGAts wouldn’t like how I stated it like this. That was my intent. I don’t care how they might get angry over it like other Chinese/Asians would be sensitive not to offend. Asian logic thinks it’s counter intuitive because that would make them angry and that isn’t their goal. What’s happening now shows you how wrong they are. China is the only one standing up to Trump and the MAGAts who have been abusing the power of the US and the world is liking China more than ever. That contradicts the logic of how Geisha Asians think how the world works. It’s time to put the stake through this vampire’s heart.

WASHINGTON, April 18 (Reuters) - White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett on Friday said President Donald Trump and his team were continuing to study if they could fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, a sign that such a move, a matter of great consequence for the central bank's independence and for global markets, is still an option.

If they can get rid of Powell and replace him with a Trump sycophant I predict the US economy will collapse. Not a recession, or depression but a total economic collapse. These people are deep into drinking the Kool Aid and I don’t think you can stop a runaway train once it leaves the station. I think putting a Trump yes man in charge of the Federal Reserve is exactly that kind of scenario.

Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen(is she MAGA?) firings would hasten the economic decline of the USA to an unbelievable degree-at least the oligarchs can buy more on the coming stock market "dip" while everyone else suffers-so it's not all bad news. :rolleyes:

On this issue I support Commander in Citrus 250%. Mr. Transitory Inflation should answer for his gaslighting of American people for the past three years.

Janet Yellen isn't MAGA Republican but a MAGA Democrat - she was the Treasury Secretary in the Biden Administration.

I don't understand, what war is there to wage if everything of value in Israel is insta-wrecked by thousands of ballistic missiles. will there still be an "israeli nation" to defend at that point? Even If Iran chooses restraint, can't they simply hit Israeli nuclear facilities in retaliation and make the whole region not suitable for living? Some of the Iranian facilities also have a civilian role so the excuse is there. This whole thing doesn't make sense to me. What happened to the whole Hormuz straight thing? Wouldn't it further destroy the US economy if they choose to wage war on Iran? What is this?
I have been looking at Hebrew media and they all are saying aloud. Zionist don’t think logically. They think Trump is their last chance to stop Iran. They know they’ve lost millennials and Gen z. So they are going for broke now.

Not quite a piece of news, just thought it was funny, and it seems the American ‘suppliers’ really was gouging like there was no tmr.
Was looking at some charts and man trade has totally gone off a cliff. We are back to 2020 supply chain disruptions. Matter of fact it may be even worse. Lots of companies have about 3-4 months of inventory left. What comes after that is a supply chain nightmare.
