They are Trump

Guangzhou, China – The annual canton fair in Guangzhou is PorcelainThe largest import-export trade fair. It covers a space equal to about 200 soccer fields and has been operating since 1957, when China’s economy was isolated from the rest of the world. The country’s leaders decided that the exhibition, since the Import and Export Fair of China was formally called, was the best way to overcome commercial obstacles imposed by the West and to increase business investment and the interest of foreign markets.

In later seven decades, China has become the manufacturing power of the world. But President Xi Jinping’s government believes that the United States is working again to isolate China, through President Trump’s tariff The commercial war, and that Washington will try to force other countries, and its consumers, to choose one side.

Richard Qiu told News themezone that it is simply unfair. Using a pale blue Ralph Lauren shirt, the businessman invited News themezone to sit in his stand of the Canton Fair to talk. Surrounded by thousands of small fabric gift bags designed for everything, from Christmas to Easter to birthdays, the fact that Qiu even quickly agreed an interview was a screaming; Any other Chinese entrepreneur we approached rejected our camera, distrustful of speaking with foreign media.

Its openness and warmth indicated a sense of ease with the western ones, and most importantly, their desire to tell their history about how external forces, completely out of control, affected him and his livelihood.

The Liaoning Perfect Import/Export Co. LTD of QIU has been making gift bags for 20 years, and has encouraged strong relations with its US clients, who, in recent years, have represented 30-40% of its exports. He has traveled to the United States at least six times and says that he loves the country: “It is freedom, democracy, is open and fair.”

“But this is not fair,” he said about the commercial war caused by the steep tariffs of President Trump. “It makes me feel ill to the United States now.”

Mister. Trump insists on Your rates will do it, despite Current economic pain In the United States, bring the manufacture back to the United States and sprout the economy, remodeling the global commercial system. But Qiu said it’s something else. He believes that President Trump is punishing China for being the best in producing daily products at affordable prices, and using that skill to dominate the global market.

“Our people are a diligent worker, who works hard to make the products a good price, good quality, to sell worldwide. It is not our problem,” he said. “Believe It is your problem“

Since Trump imposed 145% tariffs on all Chinese imports, although the White House later exempt smartphones and some other electronic of the levies – qiu says its US sales have stopped.

“American buyers said: ‘Richard, you have to stop production; we have to cancel it.’ I think 90% of my US orders will be canceled.”

For years, the Canton Fair has been full of American buyers who seek to bring their best possible offers that are offered at home. But this year, the officials admitted to News themezone that the numbers are very low: another sign that President Trump’s trade war is strengthened.

An American that we are examining the positions in Guangzhou was not there to buy, but to investigate new products.

“The tariffs are going to go down at some point and we must be ready for it,” News Jonathan Scheerz told News, who lives in Michigan, where he directs a household items business, News themezone. He said he received many orders from China’s products before the inauguration of Mr. Trump, because he was anticipating a commercial war, but not.

“I don’t want to bring them to the current rate,” he lamented. “It just doesn’t work. It’s too high, but I don’t think it will last months and months.”

Optimism is based on its belief that no one makes it better than China when it comes to offering so many different products at such low prices.

“In my eyes, China produces what you want,” said Scheerz. “Simple like that.”

But if the commercial war extends, many business owners who spoke with News themezone off camera said they were prepared to take pain.

Qiu knows that the difficult days are ahead. It is looking to diversify its export portfolio in Europe, but there is only much that the market can absorb, so they are uncertain times.

“I think it’s like a war. Under a war, the greatest suffering is people, no matter if they are the United States or China,” he told News themezone.

Qiu added, however, that in the course of the history of China, the country has suffered real difficulties and pain, and believes that the Chinese have strength and strength to do so again.

“If we do something unfair, I will not support the government, but it is its government: the United States government puts us unfair things, so we say: ‘Okay, we fight.'”
