Walmart has notified Chinese suppliers to resume shipping goods - report

Apr 27, 2025, 05:51 GMT+8

Last week, major US retailers including Walmart, Target and Home Depot met with the White House. Shortly afterwards, the stock market turned around, leading to an extremely strong week in the S&P 500.

Today, Hong Kong based Ming Pao (a reputable newspaper) reports from the Canton Fair, which is an import/export fair and reported that:

Walmart has already notified Chinese suppliers to resume shipping goods that had been temporarily suspended due to the tariff war
several exporters independently mentioned it
all tariffs are paid by the buyer (Americans)
A ceramics shipper said only seasonal products are being resumed

It's hard to shake the sense that many people were trading last week on inside information, or at least a strong belief that the White House will substantially ease tariffs. If that's the case, we could see some 'sell the fact' action if/when it's announced.

.

ya,its only logic the tarif to be baid by buyer (american) they can vote not to buy,but some item only can be inport,so american wallet yang koyak

these oligarchs have to donasi to Trump and geng

Trade war should not be started. Stupid people support idiot to create problems for the world.

Retaliatory Tariffs are just for scaring other countries not to do the same.

Trump sets its own tariff, even if Xi don't call him

But it works already.

So many called to make deal

the one matter most don't call

kesian

There are a lot of talks but no deals made yet

Even Japan did not settled for a deal despite being forced to wear the stupid MAGA cap

Everyone is waiting for a deal with China first as it will ascertain whether their position in the negotiations

If China concede a lot, all the other countries will have to concede too but if US concede to China, all other countries will have more bargaining power

If you’re the leader of a nation, what will you do first?

So far not a single deal actually finalised. Of course most countries will talk to US, that is not same as making deal as brag by Trump.

Even macai like Japan and SK also keep dragging, no deal made.

Bharat got deal liao. Epal moving over. Most likely orange man will announce in the next few days.

foxcon factory is already in india lah lol

I think it’s either:
1) the importers got some assurance from Trump that their tariff will go down upon goods arrival; or
2) the importers are playing chicken game with Trump. If by the time shelves empty and goods stuck at port due to exorbitant tariff, massive protest or even riot may happen, Trump may be toppled.

Once reach this stage, it is basically settled liao, waiting for orange man to announce only. Most likely within the next few days because his 100 days celebration is on Wednesday and he needs a win somewhere.

“India also has fewer non-tariff trade barriers, obviously, no currency manipulation, very, very little government subsidies, so that reaching a deal with the Indians is much easier,” Bessent said at the Washington DC event on the sidelines of the annual World Bank and International Monetary Fund meetings.



India to scrap US$23b manufacturing scheme as red tape, missed targets stall progress

Instead, many firms that participated in the programme failed to kickstart production, while others that met manufacturing targets found India slow to pay out subsidies, according to government documents and correspondence seen by Reuters. As of October 2024, participating firms had produced US$151.93 billion worth of goods under the programme, or 37 per cent of the target that Delhi had set, according to an undated analysis of the programme compiled by the commerce ministry. India had issued just US$1.73 billion in incentives — or under 8 per cent of the allocated funds, the document said.

I have said this before, this is a very good move by India. Even before the deal is announced, the fact that Vance visited India should net Modi some serious political points.

There are still risks, the biggest being orange man himself. But no risk, no gain, I guess. If no risk, everyone else would have rushed in by now.

On India's side, there are still many problems, many already mentioned by LKY and still existing today. Whether they make it or not, remains to be seen. But for now, props to India, they saw an opportunity and they struck while the iron is hot.

only walmart and other big co. can lobby trump for exemptions to tarriffs. meanwhile tariff is still going on, smalltime business owner and SME will still kena kaw kaw

china sudah menang

buy from other country please, not enough goods
