How Trump accidentally exposed Gucci (China wins tariffs)

Tariff update! Still crazy!
But while the U.S. wages economic war via tariffs, China is hitting back in more ways than one.

A series of TikToks are going viral about shopping directly with Chinese suppliers - straight up teaching consumers how to skip over middlemen like Amazon, Alibaba, Aliexpress, and even luxury brands - to buy straight from the source in Chinese factories.

Many American tiktok users are finding out for the first time that their products aren’t coming from where they thought they were - from bags, to shoes, to laundry pods

This trend signifies a broader shift in how Chinese manufacturers approach international marketing, and is possibly a sign as to how other countries might try and handle their new life in tariff town.
