China's Manufacturing Sector Struggles Amid Trade Tensions

In Guangdong, China’s largest manufacturing hub, factory owners are grappling with a significant decline in orders due to the high tariffs imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, which have soared to as much as 245% on certain products. This has led to fears that some businesses may not recover, as U.S. orders—which accounted for up to 30% of some factories’ sales—have dropped sharply. The Canton Fair, a major trade show, saw a noticeable absence of U.S. buyers this year, reflecting the challenges posed by the ongoing trade war. Manufacturers, while maintaining production activity, acknowledge the turbulent market conditions and express a desire to find alternative markets, although they remain skeptical about replacing the volume offered by the U.S. market. The broader implications may also extend to American consumers, with rising tariffs expected to contribute to increased inflation, highlighting the far-reaching effects of this trade conflict on both nations.
