I have a simple question, do you ever get to travel around the world?
yep quite often.
not so fond of japan or china.
thailand, vietnam are beautiful countries with sincere people when you escape the tourist traps
eastern EU reminds me of the 1980's
africa is vastly different depending on which part you go to. im not fond of the city life there, i prefer the small native villages that keep their historic culture
other countries dont have the capacity to take on all the stuff... thats why its stockpiling at chinese ports and being charged demurrage charges for being left there, no one else is willing to take that much in that huge amount
chinese businesses are also trying to sell fully retail ready and working stuff for scrap price domestically just to get it off the ports. but other countries are refusing as they will be lumbered with the stock pile
They do have the capacity. Like I said, there might be impact an the next few months, but it won't be the same after a while. Stop thinking the world rotates around the US only, and this is the same reason China doesn't really care anymore. US wants to bully about anyone, forgetting that the population of the rest of the world is way much bigger.
firstly. china's factories making goods destined for other asian, oceanic, pacific regions carry on. but then trying to add onto this the american stuff ends up saturating the other markets
the stuff china have factories for that are getting affected by the US trade issues.. other countries are not usually taking those goods
things like toys and electronics. which are designed for the US market either by toy character resemblance to popular american tv shows, would be unknown/unwanted gifts in many other countries
the electronics are using US power standards which can be different to other countries
you would be surprised how many things are just not compatible to other countries desires.
other countries may just not want the goods even sold below cost. because they know it would ruin their own suppliers,
take some countries where they wear turbans or skullcaps due to religious culture, they wont really want baseball caps.
yoga pants are pretty much porn clothing for some modest wearing cultures
