I am just wondering why no media explain how GDP will be impacted in America in the meantime while they ramp up (or at least try to build the factories) to satisfy the american consumers.
All the sweat shop products made in say Vietnam, will move back to America? if vietnam pays like 300 dollars per month for "slave"-like labor, how much more would a pair nike shoes cost when american fairly treated workers are being paid 20 to 30 bucks per hour....


hmmmm...

great link, should have expanded the whole article

Other heavily taxed Asian countries can take advantage of Singapore 10% or Philippines 17% to bypass again 😉

when there is a will, there will be a way.

PH is politically unstable now .

Hooray....Price is coming down. All products destined for US will be dumped in other countries.

If China's domestic demand is poor, they will help SEA by buying all our stuff ke? Not to mention they are directly competing with us by flooding the market with products that are cheaper.

actually we export more to china than china export to malaysia.
Malaysia’s trade maintained its upward trajectory, growing consistently since January 2024 and recording an 8.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) expansion in June 2024 to RM237.81 billion. Exports registered the third consecutive month of growth, increased by 1.7% to RM126.05 billion while imports rose 17.8% to RM111.76 billion.

so china has a trade deficit with malaysia. if people want to complain, it should be the china citizen.

Are they going to buy more palm oil from us?

Open up more factories in Malaysia lah. 24% je. Cheap cheap. Then I can book more Vietmois after their economy goes up in flames.

this question have to ask MITI.
we can trade more with EU and diversify, if they dont kepo so much. EU also need a lot of palm oil, but choose to spread lies about palm oil to justify they purchase other oil option. EU reject indonesia /malaysia palm oil due to deforestation issue, but turns out it was a lie. Indonesia sue EU, and won the court case.

pity vietnam choose usa side and betrayed again

This gives an idea of the amount of stuff being shipped TO the US.

Everyone wants to ship their goods to the US, especially......China.

Madagascar exported USD82.8m of vanilla beans to US

I'm pretty sure they don't have many import so their trade deficit very lopsided

us spending power highest in the world, everyone also wan ship there lo.

Philippines the best now

If you increase Philippines trade deficit by exporting from there, their rate will increase too

Singapore and Pinoy not stupid.

They enjoying lower tariffs now because their countries not being used by CCP to bypass Trump specific tariffs to RedChina.

Just salin baju to hoodwink Trump

Like used whores, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia kena and CCP parasite will just abandon them and go to the next host
