Situation in China is getting bleaker. Many Chinese factory workers have not been paid in three to four months. Long before the tariffs!
Many workers are returning home and the fear is even if and when Chinese Communist Party negotiates are fair trade deal with US factory workers may not return.
Also, in late 2024 factory workers and/or corrupt factory owners were burning down warehouses.
China economy was already collapsing but the tariffs accellerated it.
