Most important part of these tariffs:
“The trade rule allows packages to be shipped from foreign countries directly to consumers or businesses without paying tariffs, as long as the shipments do not exceed $800 per recipient per day. The new proposal would strip that exemption from a wide array of products and most likely have a significant impact on large importers of Chinese goods such as Shein and Temu, two online marketplaces that have become popular with American shoppers.”
This trade rule being taken advantage of by Aliexpress, Temu, and Shein is the sole reason why significant amounts of Americans could still afford to buy a lot of consumer goods despite having their real wages crash year after year. This would genuinely trigger another cost of living crisis
Can you give some examples of said propaganda?
There’s videos on how evil Temu and Shein are with working conditions that I’ve seen on Yotube but never watched. I think it’s also a thing on TikTok. Every comment section is filled with people shaming any influence that promoters one of the two as a sponsor.
Americans also say “Temu-___” of something to imply low quality, bootleg products in their slang.
It is though. Temu and Shein are dogshit compared to Aliexpress. Not everything from china is good lol, at least the international versions.
I mean they aren’t “good” companies, nor quality products.
If you can stomach it the SNL Shein skit
