There are dozens TikToks of Chinese factory reps explaining to Americans how to get expensive “western” goods like Lululemon directly to dodge tariff markups

Is it brilliant economic warfare or just a fascinating market evolution?

I wonder if the Chinese factories are assuming the trade war kills their brand relationships anyway so they might as well sell their inventory…

Geopolitics

I have a feeling these are going to have a big impact. For instance there is already a significant boycott on Target. Meanwhile, I’m seeing the Chinese factories making goods for Target. There’s some opportunity for small businesses here and I love to see it

Besides my previous reply I don’t get the feeling they give many fvcks. They already are threatening to undo trademark agreements that took years to establish. Feels to me they have the upper hand on multiple levels and they are enjoying it. Where is Nike going to go anyway? It can’t be easy setting up new manufacturers

To be clear, I’m not happy with any of this but from a human perspective, feeling their schadenfreude a little? Also, I know some small designers who still get their jewelry and toys knocked off and sold. 

Maybe I’m thinking if the big guys feel it, the little guys can find some justice? I don’t know exactly. I just laugh so I don’t cry in my popcorn

Trademark agreements and IP agreements took more than a decade to negotiate at the behest of giants like Microsoft and Hollywood Studios.

So if china rips these agreements up the trade war will affect more than just physical goods.

It does feel like a resounding 

“Okay bet lol”
