re: American Chamber of Commerce in South China "US companies leaving China"

I'll help him out. Gloves. You will pay ~20% - 25% more on any and all gloves b/c a majority of all gloves are manufactured in China. There are plenty more products...how do I know? I import for a major retailer. Just listen to the earnings calls this week...you'll hear all about it. The 25% tariffs are going to sting...and most companies will leverage raising average prices and not just the specific items that are directly tariff impacted. So, to better answer the question, most products will be affected and the individual retailer will decide which and how much...but let's be clear - these will 100% be passed on to the consumer.

Whether people align on the debate of Tariffs...Trump has one goal and one goal only: Pressure to move manufacturing out of China - why? less manufacturing reduces the GDP in China and hurts their economy. There are a myriad of reasons why he is doing it, but the goal is clear.

Side note, manufactures have been chasing lower wage rates for years. The expansion into Vietnam started a few years ago when Chinese wages started to rise. We strategically started sourcing from alternatives to keep prices down. Vietnamese wages were 1/10 of Chinese wages, so many companies began building the infrastructure years ago. India and believe it or not, Mexico/S. America are the newer hotbeds. If India could ever ship on time, they would be more of a force.
